High-spin states in odd-mass /sup 113en-dash119/Sb:. delta. J = 1 bands on 9/2/sup +/ proton-hole states

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev., C; (United States)

Properties of high-spin states in /sup 113,115,117,119/Sb have been studied via the /sup A/Cd(/sup 6/Li,3n)/sup A/+3Sb reactions. Using Ge(Li) and Si(Li) detectors, in-beam measurements of ..gamma..-ray excitation functions, ..gamma..-..gamma.. coincidences, ..gamma..-ray angular distributions, and pulsed beam-..gamma.. timing spectra were made to determine level energies, decay schemes, ..gamma..-ray multipolarities, J/sup ..pi../ assignments, isomeric lifetimes, and a g factor. Systematic ..delta..J = 1 bands built on low-lying 9/2/sup +/ proton-hole (2p-1h) states were observed in these nuclei. The bandheads that involve the excitation of a 1g/sub 9/2/ proton across the Z = 50 shell achieve an energy minimum near the middle of the neutron shell. The observed properties of these bands are consistent with significant prolate deformations; the band spacings imply a deformation asymmetry of ..gamma.. = 20/sup degree/ in a triaxial rotor model. In addition, single-particle and single-particle plus core-excitation states were observed in these Sb nuclei. Two isomers were identified, a 19/2/sup(/sup -/) state at 2796 keV in /sup 115/Sb (tau = 230 +- 4 nsec and g = +0.290 +- 0.005) and a (27/2/sup +/) state in /sup 119/Sb (tau = 1.23 +- 0.13 sec).
