Title: Evidence of nontermination of collective rotation near the maximum angular momentum in {sup 75}Rb

Abstract

Two of the four known rotational bands in {sup 75}Rb were studied via the {sup 40}Ca({sup 40}Ca,{alpha}p){sup 75}Rb reaction at a beam energy of 165 MeV. Transitions were observed up to the maximum spin I{sub max} of the assigned configuration in one case and one-transition short of I{sub max} in the other. Lifetimes were determined using the residual Doppler shift attenuation method. The deduced transition quadrupole moments show a small decrease with increasing spin, but remain large at the highest spins. The results obtained are in good agreement with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations, which indicate that these rotational bands do not terminate, but remain collective at I{sub max}.
