De-excitation of the strongly coupled band in ¹⁷⁷Au and implications for core intruder configurations in the light Hg isotopes

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁹²Mo(⁸⁸Sr, 2np), E=399 MeV; measured reaction products, Eγ, Iγ, (ion implants)γ-coin, γγ-coin, γγ(θ)(DCO), α-decay tagging method using Jurogam-II array, GREAT spectrometer, and RITU gas-filled separator at the K=130 MeV cyclotron facility of the University of Jyvaskyla. ¹⁷⁷Au; deduced high-spin levels, conversion coefficients, multipolarity, J, π, bands, configuration. Comparisons with cranked Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) calculations based on Skyrme energy functionals, and with the structures of ¹⁸⁷Au and ¹⁷⁸Hg nuclei.
