Abstract
A comprehensive high-spin decay scheme has been deduced for using the Gammasphere Germanium detector array coupled to the charged-particle detector system Microball. Following the fusion-evaporation reaction of at 136 MeV beam energy about 90 excited states have been observed in which are connected by some 230 transitions. The proposed level scheme reaches 16 MeV excitation energy at a spin of With its complexity the level scheme of appears to be “complete” up to 1 or 2 MeV above the yrast line. This aspect is further investigated through a comparison of the data with spherical shell-model calculations.
