Abstract
A strong quasicontinuum ridge with a spacing of 58.1 ± 0.3 keV was observed in 173W and 174W when populated at high spin. The ridge is a factor of 4 times more intense than that of the sum of discrete bands over the same range of rotational frequencies. The strength of the ridge may be due to the large number of nearly degenerate proton orbitals lying above the Z = 73 gap occurring at a deformation β2≈0.3.
