W. Andrejtscheff et al., OCTUPOLE COLLECTIVITY AND SPIN DEPENDENCE OF THE E1 TRANSITION MOMENTS IN SM-150, Physics letters. Section B, 437(3-4), 1998, pp. 249-256
The lifetimes of the lowest 1(-), 3(-), 5(-) and 7(-) states in Sm-150
are measured in the (n(th), gamma) reaction with the GRID method. Abo
ve these up to spin J = 18, B(E1) values are estimated from experiment
al B(E1)/B(E2) ratios. The E1 transition moments peak at J = 5-7 and a
re lowest in the region 11 less than or equal to J less than or equal
to 15 where previous studies suggest enhanced octupole collectivity. O
bserved is a staggering of the El moments with odd and even J values.
