OSTI ID:5264651
The high-spin structure of /sup 116/ /sup 118/Sb has been studied using the techniques of in-beam gamma-ray spectroscopy. Experiments performed include gamma-ray angular distributions, ..gamma..-..gamma..-t coincidence measurements, gamma-ray excitation functions, and gamma-ray half-life measurements. The reactions used to populate the high-spin levels were proton, alpha, and lithium induced fusion evaporation reactions. Level schemes for each of these nuclei have been constructed from the results of these experiments. The level schemes display behavior that can be explained only by assuming the existence of both deformed and spherical states. Such coexistence of states has previously been observed in neighboring nuclei. This investigation extends these findings to odd-odd Sb nuclei. A qualitative discussion of these various structures is made in terms of the shell model and the particle-plus-deformed-rotor model.
