Abstract
The level scheme of has been investigated using the fusion-evaporation reaction at beam energy. The rays were detected in the Ge-detector array Gammasphere, which was coupled to the -charged-particle detector Microball and the Neutron Shell for the coincident detection of evaporated particles. Over 100 new -ray transitions connecting some 50 excited states have been identified. Most of the states are built on particle-hole excitations across the shell gaps at particle number . The rich experimental data allows for a comprehensive comparison of core-excited states with results from large-scale shell-model calculations, which are known to provide excellent predictions for the lower-lying yrast and near-yrast levels in nuclei.
