Abstract
High-spin states in the odd-odd 168Lu nucleus, populated in the
154Sm(19F,5n) reaction at a beam
energy of 96 MeV, were investigated using in-beam -ray
spectroscopy techniques. The BC neutron crossing in the yrast band, based on
configuration, occurs at
=0.31 MeV.
The two side bands, based on
and
configurations, show anomalous signature-splitting and
signature-inversion in the first one, to occur at
=0.24 MeV.
A moderately delayed BC-crossing is anticipated
in the second one.
