The use of different mass parameters for the rotation and two vibrations in the Bohr Hamiltonian is important for describing properties of nuclei, especially interband E2 transition probabilities. For odd nuclei, the Coriolis interaction of the angular momentum of an odd nucleon with that of a nucleus can affect results noticeably.
Excited-state energies and E2 transition probabilities have been calculated for the Dy-163 and Yb-173 nuclei, by using three different mass parameters and taking into account the Coriolis interaction, once shell-model calculations have been performed to determine the single-particle ground-state properties of Dy-163 and Yb-173.
