Abstract
The high-spin level structure of the doubly odd nucleus Ag has been investigated via the Mo(B, 4n)Ag reaction at a beam energy of 50 MeV. The newly established level scheme includes lower-lying two-quasiparticle states and several higher-lying bands. Two positive-parity bands associated with the and configurations are extended significantly. Based on the comparison with the analogous structures in neighboring nuclei and the features of nuclear chirality, the negative parity bands are suggested as candidate chiral doublet bands with the configuration.
