Band structure inRe180and the different coupling schemes in a deformed doubly odd nucleus

Abstract
Rotational bands in the odd-odd nucleus Re180 have been studied via the Yb176 (10B,6n) and Ta181(α,5n) fusion-evaporation reactions. A completely new high-spin level scheme has been obtained comprising four ΔI=1 bands and a ΔI=2 band. The ΔI=1 structures can be understood from quasiparticle states in neighboring odd nuclei and the ΔI=2 band is interpreted as a new example of a double decoupled sequence based on the decoupled h9/2 proton and a (1/2[521] neutron. The different coupling schemes in a deformed doubly odd nucleus are discussed.
