Background: Two-phonon excitations originating from the coupling of two collective one-phonon states are of great interest in nuclear structure physics. One possibility to generate low-lying $E1$ excitations is the coupling of quadrupole and octupole phonons. Purpose: In this work, the $gamma$-decay behavior of candidates for the $(2_1^+otimes 3_1^-)_{1^-}$ state in the doubly-magic nucleus $^{40}$Ca and in the heavier and semi-magic nucleus $^{140}$Ce is investigated. Methods: $(vec{gamma},gamma)$ experiments have been carried out at the High Intensity $gamma$-ray Source (HI${gamma}$S) facility in combination with the high-efficiency $gamma$-ray spectroscopy setup $gamma^3$ consisting of HPGe and LaBr$_3$ detectors. The setup enables the acquisition of $gamma$-$gamma$ coincidence data and, hence, the detection of direct decay paths. Results: In addition to the known ground-state decays, for $^{40}$Ca the decay into the $3^-_1$ state was observed, while for $^{140}$Ce the direct decays into the $2^+_1$ and the $0^+_2$ state were detected. The experimentally deduced transition strengths and excitation energies are compared to theoretical calculations in the framework of EDF theory plus QPM approach and systematically analyzed for $N=82$ isotones. In addition, negative parities for two $J=1$ states in $^{44}$Ca were deduced simultaneously. Conclusions: The experimental findings together with the theoretical calculations support the two-phonon character of the $1^-_1$ excitation in the light-to-medium-mass nucleus $^{40}$Ca as well as in the stable even-even $N=82$ nuclei.
The evolution of quadrupole and octupole collectivity and their coupling is investigated in a series of even-even isotopes of the actinide Ra, Th, U, Pu, Cm, and Cf with neutron number in the interval $130leqslant Nleqslant 150$. The Hartree-Fock-Bog
$^{48}$Ca, the lightest double beta decay candidate, is the only one simple enough to be treated exactly in the nuclear shell model. Thus, the $betabeta(2 u)$ half-life measurement, reported here, provides a unique test of the nuclear physics involve
Inclusive as well as exclusive energy spectra of the light charged particles emitted in the $^{28}Si(E_{lab}=112.6 MeV) + ^{28}Si,^{12}C$ reactions have been measured at the Strasbourg VIVITRON facility in the angular range 15^0 - 150^0, using the IC
The transition rates for the 2_{1}^{+} states in 62,64,66Fe were studied using the Recoil Distance Doppler-Shift technique applied to projectile Coulomb excitation reactions. The deduced E2 strengths illustrate the enhanced collectivity of the neutro
Low-spin states of 157Dy have been studied using the JUROGAM II array, following the 155Gd ({alpha}, 2n) reaction at a beam energy of 25 MeV. The level scheme of 157Dy has been expanded with four new bands. Rotational structures built on the [523]5/2
