Abstract
The total γ ray spectrum emitted by 152Dy has been measured in two different reactions and decomposed into its constituent parts. From the measured decay times, multiplicities, multipolarities and spectral shapes, the average decay path has been reconstructed. The yrast single-particle structures have been shown to give way to highly collective bands at internal excitations energies > 1.5 MeV. A model, which takes into account the competition between statistical and collective decay at high spin and temperature, has been used to fit all features of the data, yielding Qt=7.0+2.5-1.5 e b for the collective bands.
