We have investigated the levels of the ' 'Dy nucleus with (d, p) and (d, t) reactions using 12 MeV deuterons and a broad range magnetic spectrograph, with angular distribution analysis of the (d, t) reaction using 15 MeV deuterons and a semiconductor detector telescope, and with the (n, y) reaction over the y-ray energy range from 25 to 6500 keV using Ge(Li) detectors and a large NaI annulus. The states observed are discussed in terms of the Nilsson model and comparisons are made with the levels in ' 'Er and with theoretical calculations.
