Irregularities at high spin in the odd-odd nucleus /sup 158/Tm

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)
High spin states in the odd-odd nucleus /sub <1//sub 69//sup 58/Tm/sub 89/ were populated in the /sup 110/Pd(/sup 51/V,3n) reaction at 220 MeV. It has been possible to construct a level scheme with states up to spin 36/sup (+)/ (tentatively 38/sup +/), the highest spins measured in an odd-odd nucleus to date. The proposed high-spin level scheme for /sup 158/Tm and its interpretation differ considerably from previous work on this nucleus. Irregularities in the ..gamma..-ray energy spacings observed at the highest spins are also discussed.
