(p, t) Reaction as a Probe for the Structure of Odd-Odd Nuclei: Levels inLu174

The ($p, t$) reaction is employed for the first time to study the structure of the deformed, rare-earth, odd-odd nucleus, ${}_{}{}^{174}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Lu}$. In addition to a number of levels that have been characterized in previous studies, we have seen the rotational band built on the ${\left[\pi {\frac{7}{2}}^{+}\mathrm{}\right(404), \nu {\frac{7}{2}}^{-}\mathrm{}(514\left)\right]}_{K=7\mathrm{}}$ configuration. This band is about 6% admixed with the ${\left[\pi {\frac{7}{2}}^{+}\mathrm{}\right(404), \nu {\frac{5}{2}}^{-}\mathrm{}(512\left)\right]}_{K=6\mathrm{}}$ band. In addition, we have observed intensity resulting from four-quasiparticle configurations related to the ground states of both ${}_{}{}^{176}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Lu}$ and ${}_{}{}^{174}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Lu}$.
