abstract = "Coulomb excitation measurements with 16O and 4He projectiles have been performed on 160Dy, 162Dy, and 164Dy. The ground-state rotational bands up through the 8+ member were observed in the 16O experiments. The measured excitation probabilities yield B(E2; I → I -2) values which are generally in agreement with the rotational predictions except for the 6+ → 4+ values. In each nucleus, probabilities for exciting the 2+, 4+, and 6+ members of the γ-vibrational band were measured and compared with calculated results. The B (E2; 0+ → 2+γ) values were measured in experiments involving 4He ions. The Kπ = 2- octupole band was observed in each nucleus in addition to 1- bands in 160Dy and 162Dy. Excitation probabilities were analyzed in an attempt to extract B(E3) values.",

note = "Funding Information: The Coulomb excitation process has long been recognized as a technique for studying the collective properties of nuclei. Multiple excitation experiments with heavy projectiles are useful for investigating the higher-spin members of rotational bands in deformed nuclei. While much effort has been spent on multiple Coulomb excitation of the soft transitional nuclei such as 152Sm, less work has been performed on the more rigidly deformed nuclei in the rare-earth region. In this work, we describe Coulomb excitation experiments on targets of ~ 6°Dy, t 62Dy ' and ~ 64 Dy using beams of {"}*He and 160 ions. These measurements were performed with three objectives in mind. First, it is of great interest to measure reduced E2 transition probabilities \[B(E2) values\] between successive members of the ground state rotational band. These data are needed so that the possible contributions from centrifugal stretching or from quantal corrections to the semi-classical Winther-De Boer program can be ascertained. Secondly, accurate B(E2) values for the 2 + members of the known ~- * Work supported by US Atomic Energy Commission and National Science Foundation. tt Now at Naval Weapons Center, China Lake, California.
