    Abstract

    Lifetimes have been deduced in the intermediate/high-spin range for the three known rotational bands in Kr73 and the T=0 band in Rb74 using the residual Doppler shift method. This has enabled relative transition quadrupole moments to be studied for the first time in triaxial nuclei as a function of spin. The data suggest that the additivity principle for transition quadrupole moments is violated, a result that is in disagreement with predictions from cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky and cranked relativistic mean-field theory calculations. The reasons for the discrepancy are not understood but may indicate that important correlations are missing from the models. © 2008 The American Physical Society.
