Abstract
Excited states of the nucleus have been studied using the (,) reaction at a beam energy of . The emitted γ rays were detected with the Gammasphere spectrometer. The known positive-parity structure built on the second state was extended up to the and states. This structure has been interpreted as a quasi-γ band. Its energy staggering as a function of spin has been analyzed in order to derive information on the type of triaxiality present in , a nucleus that serves as one of the cores for chiral structures in the mass region.
