Conclusions
• Investigation of SD excited bands in 151Tb and 196Pb
• SD ridge structures found in both nuclei
• Npath ~ 25 151Tb
~ 45 196Pb in tot matrix
• Comparison with cranked shell model calculations including tunneling
Good agreement for 196Pb…still to finalise for 151Tb
• additional info on pairing (Cmass) and level density (C)
•MONTECARLO simulation to study decay flux in coincidence with SD yrast•Comparison with existing analysis on 192Hg
