First Observation of a Rotational Band in Neutron-Rich ¹⁸⁰Lu

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁸⁰Hf(²³⁸U, X)^180mLu, E=1.6 GeV; measured delayed Eγ, Iγ, (X-ray)γ-, γγ-coin following isomer decay. ¹⁸⁰Lu deduced levels, possible J, π, configurations, rotational band features, high-K isomer T_1/2 lower limit. Pulsed beam, Gammasphere array.
