/ Abstract
The lifetimes of the excited levels for the two nearly degenerate bands of $^{106}\mathrm{Ag}$ have been measured using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The deduced $B(E2)$ and $B(M1)$ rates in the two bands are found to be similar, except around the band crossing spin, while their moments of inertia are quite different. This is a novel observation for a nearly degenerate doublet band.
