Abstract
Excited states in the nucleus have been observed for the first time with the reaction at 105 MeV. -ray transitions in this nucleus have been assigned unambiguously by combining the information from the GASP -ray array, the ISIS silicon ball, and the n-Ring neutron detector. Two band structures have been observed in this nucleus; they continue the smooth evolution of the known bands from the lighter isotones and have been tentatively assigned spins and parity on this basis. After reaching a maximum of collectivity at the trend with increasing mass is reversed, showing a smaller collectivity at The rotational behavior of the observed bands is discussed on the basis of the projected shell model calculations.
