AbstractNuclei are the basic building blocks of matter and understanding their fundamental properties is the main goal of this award. This project will investigate the vibrational degrees of freedom superimposed on the deformed ground states and the expected rotational excited states built upon them in rare earth nuclei. The investigators aim to determine the characteristics of excited states by the measurement of conversion electrons in coincidence with γ rays using fIREBAll, the only array of its kind
