The energy shift between the level densities of the even-odd and even-even isotopes 161,162Dy and 171,172Yb is measured as a function of excitation energy. The results are compared with predictions from various semiempirical models. The energy shift procedure works well for excitation energies between 3.5 and 7 MeV in the even-even nucleus, yielding a relative energy shift close to the experimental pairing gap parameter Δ.
