Coulomb Excitation Paths of High-K Isomer Bands in ¹⁷⁸Hf

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ¹⁷⁸Hf(¹³⁶Xe, ¹³⁶Xe'), E=650 MeV; measured prompt and delayed Eγ, Iγ, (particle)γ-, γγ-coin following Coulomb excitation; deduced high-K isomer bands population mechanisms. ¹⁷⁸Hf deduced high-spin levels, J, π, B(E2), K-mixing features. Gammasphere and Chico arrays.
