In previous (γ ,γ′) experiments using unpolarized
bremsstrahlung strong dipole transitions were observed in the rare-earth
nuclei 172,174,176Yb in the energy region between 2.5-3.5 MeV [1].
Most of the transitions are believed to belong to the M1 scissors mode,
which is strongly fragmented in these nuclei [2], however no parities have
been measured so far. We used the 100% linearly polarized Compton
backscattered γ-Ray Beam of the HIγS-facility at TUNL, which
has been shown to be very suitable for parity assignments of dipole
excitations [3].
