Abstract
This work reports on the first observation of excited levels in the nucleus. Levels in populated in spontaneous fission of were studied by means of prompt -ray spectroscopy, using the EUROGAM2 array. The level scheme of obtained in this work shows patterns characteristic of a spherical vibrator, which result from a weak interaction of the core with the odd proton. No signs of octupole correlations were observed in The new data allow, for the first time systematic predictions to be made of energies and spins of states in the nucleus, helping the future studies of the r-process nuclei at the line.
