Abstract
A nuclear resonance fluorescence (NRF) study was performed on the heavy deformed nucleus Lu. We observe the beginning of a rotational band built on the coupling of the unpaired proton to the octupole vibration in the neighboring nucleus Yb. The dipole strength distribution is also discussed in terms of the scissors mode.
