Abstract

The high-spin level structure of Dy154 has been determined through the (S34, 4n) reaction. Lifetimes have been measured by use of the recoil-distance method. Both the level structure and lifetimes indicate a transition from collective to few-particle characteristics at high spin, possibly suggesting a changing shape from prolate through triaxial to oblate.
