Abstract
The longstanding problem of characterization of the states in Gd isotopes is revisited by adopting the NilssonBCS mean field and the random-phase approximation. The interband electric quadrupole transition strengths varying almost two orders of magnitude are nicely reproduced at the same time as other observables. These results indicate that the states, in particular, those in lighter isotopes are well described as vibrations excited on top of deformed ground states without recourse to the shape-coexistence picture.
