A New Evidence of Interplay Between Tetrahedral and Octahedral Symmetries and Symmetry Breaking: Exotic Rotational Bands in ${}^{152}$Sm

S. Basak, D. Kumar, T. Bhattacharjee +30

We report on an experimental evidence for a new, second tetrahedral band in ${}_{62}^{152}$Sm${}_{90}^{}$. It was populated via fusion evaporation reaction, $^{150}{\rm Nd}(α, 2n)…
