Lifetimes of exited states in 134 Pr were measured be means of the recoil distance Doppler-shift and Doppler-shift attenuation techniques. The experiments were performed at IReS, Strasbourg using the EUROBALL IV spectrometer, in conjunction with the inner BGO ball and the Cologne coincidence plunger apparatus. Exited states in 134 Pr were populated in the fusion-evaporation reaction 119 Sn (19 F , 4 n )134 Pr . Reduced transition probabilities in 134 Pr are compared to the predictions of the two quasiparticle+triaxial rotor and interacting boson fermion-fermion models. The experimental results do not support the presence of static chirality in 134 Pr underlying the importance of shape fluctuations. Only within a dynamical context the presence of intrinsic chirality in 134 Pr can be supported.

The energies, gamma-ray branching ratios, and mean nuclear lifetimes of the six lowest lying levels in 35Cl have been measured. Gamma rays following the reaction 32S(α,pγ)35Cl were studied using two Ge(Li) detectors with 15-cm3 and 40-cm3 active volumes respectively. The lifetimes of the five lowest lying levels were measured using the Doppler shift attenuation method, with the results: 1219 keV, [Formula: see text]; 1763 keV, 0.55 ± 0.15 ps; 2646 keV, 0.30 ± 0.09 ps; 2695 keV, <0.03 ps; and 3003 keV, <0.05 ps. The lifetime of the 3163-keV level was measured to be 60 ± 7 ps, using a recoil distance method. The level structure is discussed taking into account known lifetimes, spins, parities, and gamma-ray mixing ratios.

Lifetime measurements have been made by the Doppler-shift attenuation method for the 1.98-, 3.63-, 3.92-, and 4.45-Mev states in O18 and the 1.28-, 3.34-, and 4.47-Mev states in Ne22, excited by the reactions Li7(C12, pγ)O18 and Li7(O16, pγ)Ne22. Branching ratios have also been measured. The results are tabulated.[Formula: see text]The decay of the 3.92-Mev state in O18 is 93.5% to the 1.98-Mev state and 6.5% to the ground state and of the 4.45-Mev state 74% to the 3.63-Mev state, 26% to the 1.98-Mev state, and less than 2% to the ground state. In Ne22, the ground-state transition from the 4.47-Mev state is less than 2% of the decay to the first excited state.

Lifetimes of excited states in 128 Ce were measured using the recoil distance Doppler-shift (RDDS) and the Doppler-shift attenuation (DSAM) methods. The experiments were performed at the Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory of Yale University. Excited states of 128 Ce were populated in the 100 Mo (32 Si ,4 n ) reaction at 120 MeV and the nuclear γ decay was measured with an array of eight Clover detectors positioned at forward and backward angles. The deduced yrast transition strengths together with the energies of the levels within the ground-state (gs) band of 128 Ce are in agreement with the predicted values for the X (5) critical point symmetry. Thus, we suggest 128 Ce as a benchmark X (5) nucleus in the mass A ≈ 130 region.
