Spin-23/2- Isomer of Lu177

Abstract

Investigations of the decay of the three-particle state in Lu177 with spin 23/2- performed with the crystal diffraction technique revealed evidence for three-particle states in Hf177 and rotational bands in Lu177 and in Hf177. Levels with spins to 17/2 were found in the K=7/2+ rotational band in Lu177 while the K=7/2- and K=9/2+ bands in Hf177 were found to be excited up to spin 21/2 levels. From energy and intensity measurements of the cascade, crossover, and interband transitions, the values of a number of parameters pertinent to the collective model were derived. In particular, it was verified for each of the rotational bands that the quantity (gK-gR)/Q0 was a constant within the experimental error.
