Background:The lowest-lying shape oscillations of deformed nuclei have been described as quadrupole in nature, resulting in two types of vibrations or oscillations:vibrations with oscillations along the symmetry axisandvibrations breaking axial symmetry with a projection ofon the symmetry axis. Thevibration seems to be well characterized as the first(or) band in deformed nuclei and exhibits a systematic behavior across the region. The nature of theexcitations, however, has remained poorly understood and has been open to debate for some decades.Purpose:The goal of this work is to understand the nature ofstates observed inthrough measurements of the lifetimes of these states and to determine if they are consistent with oscillations built on a deformed ground state, the minima of other coexisting shapes, single-particle states, or a mixture of effects.Method:Lifetimes of excited states in thenucleus were measured with the Doppler shift attenuation method (DSAM) and the inelastic neutron scattering reaction,, at the University of Kentucky Accelerator Laboratory.Results:Numerousstates had been observed by the () reaction [D. Bucurescu , Phys. Rev. C 73, 064309 (2006)0556-281310.1103/PhysRevC.73.064309.]. We confirm thestates at 1217.2, 1421.5, 1833.6, 2364.9, 2392.1, and 2643.0 keV in. We could not, however, support the previous assignments oflevels at 2114.1, 2200.6, 2572.5, and 2617.4 keV. We report measured lifetimes for six confirmedexcitations and additional members ofbands.Conclusions:The results forshow that it is the third excitedexcitation that carries the collective strength and, therefore, the potential to be an oscillation on the ground state. This result is similar to the case in, where it was also thestate that exhibited greater collectivity than the first excitedband. The Delarocheet al.[J.-P Delaroche , Phys. Rev. C 81, 014303 (2010)0556-281310.1103/PhysRevC.81.014303.] prediction for a collectiveband is at, which corresponds the third excitedband.
