Particle-hole induced intruder bands in {sup 117}Sb and {sup 119}Sb

Collective structures have been investigated via {gamma}-ray studies in {sup 117,119}Sb. Previously observed strongly coupled ({pi}g{sub 9/2}){sup {minus}1} bands in both nuclei involving 1p-1h proton excitations across the Z=50 gap have been extended, and an alignment of h{sub 11/2} neutrons identified. New negative-parity strongly coupled bands based on this proton configuration have also been observed in both nuclei. Decoupled bands involving 2p-2h excitations across the gap have been observed in {sup 119}Sb, similar to those presented earlier for {sup 117}Sb. These bands are interpreted as due to the coupling of a low-K valence proton to the ({pi}g{sub 7/2}d{sub 5/2}){sup 2}{circle_times}({pi}g{sub 9/2}){sup {minus}2} deformed state of the respective {sub 50}Sn core nuclei. Anomalies in the expected h{sub 11/2} neutron crossing of these bands are discussed. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
