Abstract

The current status of 2+ mixed-symmetry states in weakly deformed nuclei is described, and recent contributions from the (n,n′γ) reaction to our understanding of these states in nuclei around 94Mo are reviewed. The recent identification and characterization of two-phonon states, which are composed of the 2+ mixed-symmetry state coupled with the 2+ symmetric quadrupole phonon, are particularly significant and help clarify the picture of mixed-symmetry states as being generally occurring collective excitations.
