Abstract
The yrast band was significantly extended to and the γ band to in neutron-rich by measuring the γ-γ-γ coincidences emitted from the spontaneous fission of with Gammasphere. The first band crossing was observed in the yrast band in at a frequency of ħω≈0.36 MeV at the starting point of the backbending, which is similar to that found in The first bandbending in the yrast cascade in is interpreted to be built on a two neutron configuration based on its similarity to the yrast bands in even-even Our result indicates still maintains a prolate shape. The quasineutron Routhian calculations indicate a lower crossing frequency for the level.
