It has been possible, using Gammasphere plus Microball, to extract differential
lifetime measurements free from common systematic errors for over 15 different
nuclei (various isotopes of Ce, Pr, Nd, Pm, and Sm) at high spin within
a single experiment. This comprehensive study establishes the effective
single-particle quadrupole moments in the A\sim 135 light rare-earth region.
Detailed comparisons are made with calculations using the self-consistent
cranked mean-field theory.
