The lifetimes .and reduced transition probabilities for spins .6+-18+ in the ground-state rotational band of 232 Th have been measured by recoil-distance, Doppler-broadened lineshape, and multiple Coulomb excitation methods using 84 Kr and 136 Xe projectiles. Within the limits of experimental uncertainty, transition probabilities from all of the methods are consistent with those of a good rotor ~or spins 6+-18+ .. The discrepancy with the prediction of simple B-band mixing and centrifugal stretching models is discussed. NUCLEAR REACTIONS: 2 32 Th(84 IU-, 84 Kr', y), ELAB = 385 MeV; 2 32 Th (136 Xe, 136 Xe' ,y) ELAB = 595,623 MeV; measured lifetimes for 6+-18+ members g. s. band by recoil-distance and Doppler-broadened lineshape methods; yields for Coulomb excitation measured; B(E2) values derived from lifetimes and yields, compared to theory.
