Excited states in W-166 were populated in the Mo-92(Kr-78, 4p) reaction at a bombarding energy of 380 MeV. The measurements reveal a low value for the ratio of reduced transitions probabilities for the lowest-lying transitions B(E2; 4(+)-> 2(+)) / B(E2; 2(+)-> 0(+)) = 0.33(5), compared with the expected ratio for an axially deformed rotor (B-4/2 = 1.43).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGenerator-Coordinate MethodRecoil SeparatorStatesSpectroscopyLifetimesPlungerBandsGeArticle96210.1103/PhysRevC.96.0213012-s2.0-85028710771Q1WOS:000406755100001Q2
