Abstract
High-spin states in doubly odd 170Lu have been studied through the 160Gd(14N, 4nγ) fusion-evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 68 MeV. γγ-coincidences, Eγ,Iγ and angular distribution are measured. For the first time a high-spin level scheme consisting of three rotational structures is proposed. In the πh9/2Θvp3/2 yrast band, the (ab) neutron crossing occurs at a rotational frequency of ≈0.27 MeV. This is indicative of the partial disappearance of the blocking effect of the odd neutron. Another signature-split πh9/2Θvi13/2 band exhibits normal signature-dependence and delayed (bc) neutron crossing is anticipated to occur at h̄ω > 0.39 MeV in this structure.
