Transition probabilities are crucial quantities for testing nuclear models and can be directly related to the nuclear deformation. Thus it is an important progress that it is possible now to measure lifetimes with high precision. This has become feasible by using e.g. advanced experimental techniques like recoil distance coincidence measurements with the new multi-detector γ-ray spectrometers as well as elaborate analyzing techniques like the differential decay curve method.
We will report on two coincidence plunger experiments performed with the GASP spectrometer in its configuration two (5,8% efficiency) at Legnaro and with the 3x3 Cluster setup at Heidelberg. Lifetimes of positive and negative parity states in 134,135Nd and 130,129Ba were determined using the 110Pd(28Si,xn) reaction at ESi=135 MeV (GASP) and the 116Cd(18O,xn) reaction at EO=76 MeV (Cluster setup), respectively. The achieved accuracy for some lifetimes is better than 2%. The experimental data are used for stringent tests of collective nuclear models. In addition deformation driving effects caused by the occupation of different Nilsson orbitals are investigated. In 134Nd a large Qt-value of about 6 eb was measured after the ν(h11/2)2 band crossing thus giving evidence for an extreme shape change above the band crossing.
In 130Ba and 134Nd the mixing of S-band states (π(h11/2)2 or ν(h11/2)2) with members of the ground band or quasi γ-band was found to occur already at spin 8ℏ.
