Structure inTl200and the odd-even staggering inπ̃h92ν̃i132bands

Abstract
States of Tl200, populated through the Pt198(Li6,4n) reaction at E=30 to 40 MeV, were studied using in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy techniques. An almost completely new level scheme is presented comprising the π̃h92ν̃i132 two-quasiparticle band which in this case is built on an Iπ=7 isomeric state (T12=4.8±0.2 ns) in contrast to Iπ=8 for all the lighter doubly odd Tl isotopes studied up to now. The systematic variation of the odd-even staggering present in these bands offers arguments to support the interpretation that this phenomenon is related to the signature dependence of the Coriolis interaction.
