Abstract

Excited states in Pr135 have been investigated using the reaction Sb123(O16,4n)Pr135 at an incident beam energy of 82 MeV. The partial level scheme has been established for negative-parity states with addition of new γ-ray transitions. The directional correlation and polarization measurements have been performed to assign spin parity for most of the reported γ-ray transitions. At high spin, a negative-parity dipole band (ΔI=1) has been reported along with the observation of new crossover E2 transitions. Tilted Axis Cranking (TAC) calculations have been performed by considering a three-quasiparticle (3qp) configuration π(h11/2)1 - ν(h11/2)-2 and a five-quasiparticle (5qp) configuration π(h11/2)1(g7/2)2 - ν(h11/2)-2 for the lower and upper parts of the band, respectively. The observed results are compared with the results of the theoretical (TAC) calculations.
