Abstract

I have applied a simple two-state mixing model to members of the first two rotational bands in ¹⁵⁴Gd. Resulting mixing amplitudes are similar for , , , and , with mixing decreasing slightly with increasing J. The analysis indicates that ¹⁵⁴Gd is very similar to ¹⁵²Sm for these first two bands. Results suggest that the larger of the two experimental strengths that are available for the transition in ¹⁵⁴Gd is the correct one.
