Abstract
Positive parity band structures in were investigated using the reaction () at 31 MeV with the help of the Indian National Gamma Array. The predominant component of the band interlinking transitions and the decreasing nature of wobbling energy with spin were observed for the bands TW1 and TW2, reflecting their transverse wobbling character. The absolute () transition strengths of the zeroth and first phonon wobbling bands as well as the signature partner band were extracted from the lifetime measurements. The extracted () values in comparison with the triaxial projected shell model calculations confirm similar deformation for the three bands, which is an important characteristic of wobbling modes. This is conclusive evidence of transverse wobbling motion in an even-even nucleus based on a two-neutron configuration and also an observation of wobbling motion in the 80 mass region.
