Abstract: (APS)
Excited states of the deformed odd-odd nucleus Lu176 have been investigated by the following experiments: measurement of the Lu175(n,γ)176Lu reaction with high resolution crystal spectrometers and of the Lu175(n,e−)176Lu reaction with a double focusing magnet-spectrometer. In total, 509 gamma transitions could be identified in Lu176, and multipolarities were determined for 228 of these transitions. Additionally, a measurement of γ-γ coincidences after neutron capture and an investigation of the Lu175(d,p)176Lu transfer reaction were also performed. Information on the lifetimes of relevant levels was obtained by the technique of delayed coincidences, and, in one case, by the Doppler shift attenuation method. With these results, a level scheme was established, comprising 97 energy levels connected by 270 gamma transitions. About 30 Nilsson configurations and corresponding rotational bands were identified. The comparison with model calculations indicates that the level scheme comprises all excited states with spins 1
