Wobbling excitations at high spins in A~160

Nuclear Theory 2010-10-27 v1 Nuclear Experiment

Abstract

We found that in 156Dy and 162Yb the lowest odd spin gamma-vibrational states transform to the wobbling excitations after the backbending, associated with the transition from axially-symmetric to nonaxial shapes. The analysis of quadrupole electric transitions determines uniquely the sign of the gamma-deformation in both nuclei after the transition point.
