Abstract

The Sn124(Cl37,6nγ) fusion-evaporation reaction at a bombarding energy of 180 MeV has been used to significantly extend the excitation level scheme of 67155Ho88. The collective rotational behavior of this nucleus breaks down above spin I∼30 and a fully aligned noncollective (band terminating) state has been identified at Iπ=79/2-. Comparison with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations also provides evidence for core-excited noncollective states at Iπ=87/2- and (89/2+) involving particle-hole excitations across the Z=64 shell gap. A similar core-excited state in 68156Er88 at Iπ=(46+) is also presented.
