Abstract

The nucleus 69As was studied using the 40Ca(32S,3p)69As reaction at a beam energy of 105 MeV. An extension of the band built on the g9/2 orbital was observed to exhibit a band crossing at a rotational frequency of 0.511 MeV with an associated alignment of 7ℏ. This alignment is interpreted as being due to a pair of g9/2 neutrons. Total Routhian surface calculations have been carried out which confirm that the shape of this nucleus changes from oblate at low spin to a triaxial prolate shape at intermediate spin. * Present address: Physics Department, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN 46556.
