The reduced transition probabilities of the first excited 2(+) states in Pb-196 and Pb-198 nuclei have been measured for the first time. Values of B (E2) = 18.2(-4.1)(+4.8) W. u. and B (E2) = 13.1(-3.5)(+4.9) W. u., were obtained, respectively. The experiment sheds light on the development of collectivity when moving from the regime governed by the generalised seniority scheme to a region, where intruding structures, associated with different deformed shapes, start to come down in energy and approach the spherical ground state.", optnote="WOS:000400875800003", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3126), last updated on Fri, 02 Jun 2017 13:03:59 +0000", issn="0954-3899", doi="10.1088/1361-6471/aa6753", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6471/aa6753", language="English" }
