Abstract
High-spin states in the odd-odd nucleus were studied using the reaction. A previously observed odd-spin band has been extended to and an even-spin band has been observed for the first time to both have a structure. A strongly coupled low-spin band has been interpreted as being based upon a configuration. Cranked relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov calculations, which are corrected for the -pair field by restoring isospin symmetry, reproduce the observed spectrum. These new results provide evidence for the existence of an isovector pair field that contains a neutron-proton component with the proper strength for ensuring isospin conservation.
