Abstract

Lifetime measurements of the 51-, 41-, and 32- levels in 144Nd, coupled with measurements of the M1/E2 mixing of the 41- → 31- and 32- → 31- transitions, show that the transition strengths from these levas are in good agreement with those expected for quadrupole-octupole coupled states. Admixtures of the ν2 (f7/2i13/2) quasiparticle configuration are the most likely explanation for the relatively large B(M 1:4- > 3-) value measured in the current work and the previously measured B(E5:5- → 0+) value.
