Popis: E3 matrix elements have been determined for transitions between states up to ${\mathit{I}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}$=${13}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$ in $^{148}\mathrm{Nd}$, providing direct evidence for strong octupole collectivity in a rotational band. These values, as well as the corresponding E1 and E2 matrix elements, were obtained from Coulomb excitation data using $^{58}\mathrm{Ni}$ and $^{92}\mathrm{Mo}$ ions, projectile excitation using a $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ target, and from recoil distance lifetime measurements. The results are consistent with collective model predictions for $^{148}\mathrm{Nd}$ assuming intrinsic quadrupole and octupole moments of ${\mathit{Q}}_{20}$\ensuremath{\approxeq}400 e ${\mathrm{fm}}^{2}$ and ${\mathit{Q}}_{30}$\ensuremath{\approxeq}1500 e ${\mathrm{fm}}^{3}$. The E3 strength coupling the negative-parity states to the \ensuremath{\beta} band is found to be appreciable.
