摘要
Excited states in Sm-152 have been investigated with the Sm-152(n,n(')gamma) reaction. The lowest four negative-parity band structures have been characterized in detail with respect to their absolute decay properties. Specifically, a new K-pi=0(-) band has been assigned with its 1(-) band head at 1681 keV. This newly observed band has a remarkable similarity in its E1 transition rates for decay to the first excited K-pi=0(+) band at 684 keV to the lowest K-pi=0(-) band and its decay to the ground-state band. Based on these decay properties, as well as energy considerations, this new band is assigned as a K-pi=0(-) octupole excitation based on the K-pi=0(2)(+) state. An emerging pattern of repeating excitations built on the 0(2)(+) level similar to those built on the ground state may indicate that Sm-152 is a complex example of shape coexistence rather than a critical point nucleus.
