Abstract

Recently, the very small B(E2;21+01+)B(E2;2_{1}^{+}\rightarrow0_{1}^{+}) value was found in 166^{166}Os, which is 7(4) W.u. \textbf{and} much smaller than the values of adjacent nuclei 168,170^{168,170}Os, 74(13) W.u. and 97(9) W.u.. With the help of a new technique ``SU(3) analysis" and a new explanatory framework of the B(E2) anomaly, it was found that, the B(E2;21+01+)B(E2;2_{1}^{+}\rightarrow0_{1}^{+}) anomaly really can exist. In this paper, we discuss the B(E2;21+01+)B(E2;2_{1}^{+}\rightarrow0_{1}^{+}) anomaly in 166^{166}Os for the first time. Four results are used to fit the experimental data in 166,168,170^{166,168,170}Os successfully. This implies that the level-crossing or level-anticrossing explanation is more reasonable.
