Abstract
Three decay sequences associated with the 7 2+[404], 9 2-[514] and 1 2-[541] Nilsson states of 167Lu have been established to high spin using the 123Sb(48Ca,4n)167Lu reaction. The quasineutron and quasiproton band crossings, the energy signature splittings, and the B(M1)/B(E2) values are discussed and compared with similar quantities for the lighter lutetium isotopes. Configuration-and isotopic-dependent deformations, reflected in such comparisons, indicate that 167Lu has a larger and more stable prolate deformation than the lighter isotopes and that the 1 2-[541] configuration has a larger quadrupole deformation than the 9 2-[514] configuration. The shift of the AB neutron band crossing occurring in the 1 2-[541] sequences to a larger rotational frequency cannot be understood in terms only of deformation differences. The configuration and neutron-number dependent shapes are also discussed in a "gauge"-space analysis.
