Abstract
High-spin states in the odd- nucleus have been investigated with the reaction at 94 MeV using the Chalk River array. Three decoupled rotational bands extending to spins in the range have been identified and connected to known low-lying states. Experimental observations for the most extended band have been interpreted as evidence for smooth band termination. Theoretical calculations performed within a configuration-dependent shell-correction approach suggest that all three bands are built upon deformed two-particle–two-hole proton excitations across the shell gap.
