$\gamma -\gamma$ energy correlations and the moments of inertia in ${}_{}{}^{176}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{W}$

The behavior of ${}_{}{}^{176}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{W}$ at high angular momentum was investigated through both spectroscopy of the discrete and correlation measurements of the continuum $\gamma$ rays. The $\gamma -\gamma$ coincidence data were taken with a detection system consisting of two Compton-suppressed Ge(Li) counters. First and second moments of inertia were derived from the data.
