Lifetime Measurements in Pt}
Lifetimes in the yrast bands of the nuclei Pt have been measured
using the Doppler-shift Recoil Distance technique. The results in both cases
{\em viz.} a sharp increase in B(E2) values at very low spins, may be
interpreted as resulting from a mixing between two bands of different
quadrupole deformations.Comment: 12 pages; 4 figures; submitted to PR
Lifetime Measurements in 120Xe
Lifetimes for the lowest three transitions in the nucleus Xe have
been measured using the Recoil Distance Technique. Our data indicate that the
lifetime for the transition is more than a factor of
two lower than the previously adopted value and is in keeping with more recent
measurements performed on this nucleus. The theoretical implications of this
discrepancy and the possible reason for the erroneous earlier results are
discussed. All measured lifetimes in Xe, as well as the systematics of
the lifetimes of the 2 states in Xe isotopes, are compared with
predictions of various models. The available data are best described by the
Fermion Dynamic Symmetry Model (FDSM).Comment: 9 pages, RevTeX, 3 figures with Postscript file available on request

Magnetic and intruder rotational bands in (113)In
©2005 American Physical SocietyExcited states in ¹¹³In were populated via the reactions ¹⁰⁰Mo(¹⁸O,p4n)¹¹³In and ¹¹⁰Pd(7Li,4n)¹¹³In. The two known ΔJ = 2 intruder bands, based on the πg7/2 ⊗ d5/2 and πh11/2 orbitals, have been extended by 8¯h to spins (49/2+)¯h and (55/2−)¯h, respectively. The previous finding of three sequences of ΔJ = 1 γ -ray transitions has been confirmed. A self-consistent cranked shell-model calculation gives a good description of the contrasting alignment patterns of the two ΔJ = 2 intruder bands. The intruder bands, the known sequences ofM1 transitions, and spherical levels together represent a coexistence of three different excitation modes in this nucleus.S. Naguleswaran, R. S.
