    Abstract

    Coulomb excitation of 144,146,148,1605060Nd by 10.5 and 11 MeV alpha particles was studied by magnetic analysis of particles scattered into 150°. Values of B(E20+-->2+) for the 2+ states at 696, 454, 302, and 130 keV are 0.58(1), 0.78(1), 1.390(20), and 2.816(35) e2b2, respectively. For 148,150Nd, values of B(E30+-->3-) for 3- states at 999 and 932 keV are 0.40(8) and 0.18(3) e2b3, respectively. For 148,150Nd the hexadecapole transition matrix elements were deduced to be 0.36+10-12 and 0.25(12) e b2, respectively. Our measurements are compared to others and to interacting boson model predictions.
