Abstract

A dipole band of six transitions built upon a firmly established Iπ=31/2 isomeric state has been identified in Pb189 using recoil-isomer tagging. This is the lightest odd-mass Pb nucleus in which a dipole band is known. The dipole nature of the new transitions has been confirmed through angular-intensity arguments. The evolution of the excitation energy and the aligned-angular momentum of the states in the new dipole band are compared with those of dipole bands in heavier, odd-mass lead isotopes. This comparison suggests that the new band in Pb189 is based upon a π[s1/22h9/2i13/2]11ν[i13/2+1]13/2+ configuration. However, the increased aligned-angular momentum in Pb189 may suggest evidence for a reduced repulsive proton/neutron-hole interaction compared to dipole bands in the heavier mass isotopes.
