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.
