Abstract

High-spin states in ^163,164Ho were investigated by means of in-beam -ray spectroscopy techniques using the multidetector array GASP. Excited states in ^163,164Ho were populated predominantly through the incomplete-fusion mechanism in the ¹⁶⁰Gd (¹¹B reaction at a beam energy of 61 MeV. Known rotational bands in ¹⁶³ Ho have been extended to higher spins and a three-quasiparticle band has been observed in this nucleus. Rotational bands have been identified in ¹⁶⁴Ho and their configurations have been discussed. Empirical Gallagher-Moszkowski (GM) splitting energies were extracted from the and GM doublets. Alignments, band crossing frequencies, and electromagnetic properties have been analyzed in the framework of the cranking model.
