A previously unknown gamma line of 1905.8 keV and E3 character feeding the 3(-) octupole state has been observed. These results represent the first observation of a 6(+) -> 3(-) -> 0(+) cascade of two E3 transitions in an even-even nucleus and provide strong support for the interpretation of the 6(+) state as a two-phonon octupole excitation.", optnote="ISI:000276769400001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=468), last updated on Wed, 23 Mar 2011 12:17:41 +0000", issn="0556-2813", doi="10.1103/PhysRevC.81.031301", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.81.031301", language="English" }
