Triaxiality in 166Er. Fahlander, C., Thorslund, I., Varnestig, B., Bäcklin, A., Svensson, L. E., Disdier, D., Kraus, L., Linck, I., Schulz, N., Pedersen, J., & Cline, D. Nuclear Physics, Section A, 537(1-2):183–206, feb, 1992.

The nucleus 166Er has been Coulomb excited using beams of 16O, 32S and 58Ni. An almost complete set of reduced E2 matrix elements for the ground- and $\gamma$-bands up to spin 14+ and 12+, respectively, has been measured. A total of 44 E2 matrix elements have been determined in a model-independent way, including the static quadrupole moments up to spin 10+ of the ground band and spin 8+ of the $\gamma$-band. The data are compared with the predictions of geometric collective models and with the IBA-1 model. Overall, the experimental data are well reproduced by both the asymmetric rotor model and the rotation-vibration model. The data slightly favours the latter model and suggest that the collective structure of 166Er can be understood in terms of a varying dynamic triaxiality from $\gamma$ ≈ 18° for the ground state to $\gamma$ ≈ 10° for the higher spin states of the ground band and for the $\gamma$-band. The data also suggest that the Coriolis interaction is strong already at spin 8+ in both the ground band and the $\gamma$-band. \textcopyright 1992.
