Abstract
The odd-mass deformed nuclei , , , , , and have been studied by Coulomb excitation with 50-MeV oxygen ions. The branching ratios for the de-excitation of levels in the ground-state rotational bands were determined by measuring the -ray intensities in singles spectra observed with a Ge(Li) detector. transition rates were obtained from the branching ratios with the assumption that the rotational-model predictions for the transition rates are correct. For , six transition rates are compared. In all cases the transition rates agree with rotational-model theory within experimental error. Absolute transition rates were also measured for some of the vibrational and intrinsic states observed.
