Abstract
The high-spin levels in the neutron-rich nucleus have been investigated from the study of prompt γ rays in the spontaneous fission of with the Gammasphere detector array. A new level scheme with spin up to 27/2 ħ has been established, and the collective bands have been identified for the first time. A set of opposite-parity bands connected by crossing transitions gives evidence for octupole correlations. The results of branching ratios indicate that the octupole correlations in are strong. The reflection-asymmetry shell model is applied to calculate the levels of the octupole bands of , and the calculated results are in good agreement with the experimental ones.
