Lifetime Measurements in <sup>170</sup>Er
ORAL
Abstract
The nature of excited 0+ bands in nuclei remains the topic of much debate in nuclear structure physics. Obtaining level lifetimes of well-deformed nuclei in the rare-earth region will help guide theoretical interpretations of these bands. This work studies 170Er, which lacks lifetime data for low-lying 0+ states. The lifetimes of low-lying 0+ states in 170Er below 3.4 MeV were determined using the Doppler-shift attenuation method (DSAM) at the University of Kentucky Accelerator Laboratory. Preliminary results of level lifetimes in 170Er, including 0+ states, will be presented.
