Abstract

The decay of SD band 6 into the yrast SD band of 125Dy was confirmed and nine linking transitions were identified. As a result, the excitation energy of the lowest level in band 6 was measured to be 14 238 keV. The states in this band were tentatively determined to be negative parity and odd spin. The measured properties are consistent with an interpretation in terms of a rotational band built on a collective octupole vibration.
