The [beta] decay of mass-separated [sup 180]Yb was investigated by measuring [beta]-delayed [gamma] rays and conversion electrons. Evidence was found for an allowed-unhindered [beta] transition involving the transformation of a 7/2[sup [minus]][514] neutron into a 9/2[sup [minus]][514] proton. The experimental results include a new decay scheme of [sup 180]Yb which gives evidence for a 5[sup +] ground state of [sup 180]Lu and leads to the first identification of further low-spin configurations. These data are compared with predictions obtained from two-quasiparticle band-head energy calculations based on a zero-range residual interaction with appropriate Nilsson model wave functions.
