Abstract

Lifetimes of low-lying states have been measured in Nd-132 and Nd-134 using the coincidence-plunger technique. The reaction S-32+Pd-105 was used at a bombarding energy of 152 MeV. The measurement has been performed at the NSF Daresbury using the ESSA 30 array. The differential decay-curve method (DDCM) was used to analyze the recoil-distance Doppler-shift (RDDS) data. The experimental B(E2) values in Nd-132 are well described by the predictions of the rotational model and the IBM in the O(6) limit.
