Abstract

The populations of the ground-state band and the two-quasiparticle bands in ${}^{160}{Dy}$ were approximately separated for two-neutron pickup reactions using ${}^{58}{Ni}$ and ${}^{116}{Sn}$ ions. The two-quasiparticle transfer probability falls exponentially at large distance, but the ground-band two-neutron transfer exhibits apparent oscillations which are interpreted as the interference between scattering from different spatial orientations of deformed nuclei. These results appear to resolve the heavy-ion two-neutron transfer slope anomaly.
