Abstract The ground-state band of159Tb has been Coulomb excited up to spin 23/2 by 151-MeV40Ar ions. The lifetimes of the 9/2 to 23/2 levels have been determined by combining results obtained with the RD and DSA methods, theE2/M1 mixing ratios for ΔI=1 transitions have been measured using angular correlation techniques and the branching ratios for the levels up to spin 17/2 have been determined. The energies of the levels and the reducedM1 andE2 transition probabilities for their decay have been compared with the predictions of the rotational model, without and with ΔK=1 admixtures. No satisfactory agreement could be achieved for all available experimental data simultaneously.
