Abstract
Excited states in the nucleus populated in the (, p3n) fusion-evaporation reaction at 120 MeV have been investigated through in-beam -ray spectroscopic techniques using an array of Compton-suppressed clover detectors. The level scheme is established up to excitation energy MeV and spin with the addition of about 60 new transitions. The level structures observed in have been interpreted in the framework of a microscopic theory based on the deformed Hartree-Fock and angular momentum projection techniques. Band structures at lower spins are based on the low- and orbitals, and those at higher spins are reproduced for the and configurations. The octupole correlations in have been inferred from new interband transitions linking the states of the bands based on the and orbitals (, , and ) with the deduced values W.u.
