H. Lehmann et al., On the importance of the SU(3) description for the interpretation of the first excited K pi=O+ band in deformed nuclei, J PHYS G-NU, 25(4), 1999, pp. 827-830
The decay properties of the lowest K-pi = 0(+) band in the SU(3) dynamical
limit of the interacting boson model exhibit properties which are not compa
tible with the classical picture of a beta-vibration. Induced by this doubt
, recent experimental work on Er-168 and Dy-164 shows that the lowest K-pi
= 0(+) band can be indeed of various origins in different nuclei.
