Abstract

High-spin states in [Formula Presented] were populated to investigate shape competition and shape coexistence phenomena in the single and three-quasiparticle regions. The thin-target experiment [Formula Presented] at 90 MeV was performed using the FSU Tandem-LINAC accelerator facility, and the FSU-PITT array of 10 Compton-suppressed Ge detectors for the collection of [Formula Presented] coincidence data. Construction of level schemes and assignments of decays, excitation energies, spins, and parities were achieved through examination of coincidence data, relative intensity measurements, and angular correlation analysis. A rotational sequence with band-head spin-parity [Formula Presented] was found and is compared to a similar band in [Formula Presented] A negative-parity three-quasiparticle band exhibiting rigid rotation was also discovered. In total, 65 new transitions and 36 new excitation states were added to the level scheme. Cranked-shell, Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov, and particle-rotor coupling models are used in the interpretation.
