INVESTIGATION OF THE DECAY SCHEME OF Dy$sup 16$$sup 6$

The decay scheme of Dy/sup 166/(T/sub 1/2/ = 80.2 hr), which is o b tained as a result of double neutron capture from Dy/sup 164/, was investigated. The types of gamma transitions in the Ho/sup 166/ nucleus with energies of 28 (Ml), 54.2 (E2), and 82.5 kev (M1) were also determined. The intensity ratios for beta decay from Dy/sup 166/ to the levels of the Ho/sup 166/ nucleus were obtaine d. A scheme for the lower levels of the Ho/sup 166/ nucleus is proposed. (auth)
