Show affiliationsBased on the energy spectra and relative transition probabilities 176,178,180Os turned out to be very promising candidates for testing the features of the critical point symmetry X(5). In order to also test absolute transition probabilities predicted in the framework of the X(5) symmetry lifetime measurements were performed at the Cologne FN tandem accelerator. The lifetimes of the first 2+ states in 176,178,180Os were measured using electronic timing and in the case of 178Os with the recoil distance Doppler shift (RDDS) technique using an 16O-induced fusion evaporation reaction. In addition, a coincidence RDDS measurement was performed at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro with the GASP spectrometer using the 154Sm(29Si,5n)178Os reaction. The deduced transition quadrupole moments agree well with the X(5) predictions, thus further supporting an X(5) structure for 178Os. The experimental data for 178Os are compared to calculations in the framework of the interaction boson model (IBM) and of the general collective model (GCM).
