Abstract
Lifetimes of levels from K(π) = 2(+), K(π) = 4(+) and several K(π) = 0(+) bands have been measured in the (178)Hf nucleus using the GRID technique. Lifetimes of the 2(+) and 3(+) levels were measured within the K(π) = 2(+) γ band. A lower limit was established for the lifetime of the 4(+) level of the K(π) = 4(+) band. The resulting upper limits for the absolute B(E2) values exclude collective transitions from the K(π) = 4(+) to the ground state band but not to the K(π)= 2(+) band. Level lifetimes were also measured for several states within three separate K(π)= 0(+) bands. Evidence is presented for a previously unobserved case of two excited K(π)= 0(+) bands being connected via collective E2 transitions.
