Abstract
Three different effects observed in experiments with rotating nuclei—backbending, noncollective quadrupole transitions between different levels of the same band, and transitions that occur, in rapidly rotating nuclei, from large-K isomeric states immediately to the levels of a rotational band despite their strong forbiddenness in K—are explained in terms of nonconservation of the quantum number K in such nuclei.
