Abstract: | The schemes of the low-lying high-spin states in mercury isotopes with A = 195, 197, and 199 have been studied by γ-ray spectroscopy following (α, xn) reactions on separated platinum targets. Two bands have been excited in each Hg nucleus, one with positive parity based on the isomeric i. state and one, probably with negative parity, starting at spin . The positive-parity states are interpreted with the rotation-aligned coupling scheme as decoupled bands; this implies oblate deformation in these three Hg isotopes. The negative-parity states are discussed as a decoupled i neutron state coupled to the 5?, 7?, 9?,…states, recently discovered in doubly even mercury isotopes. |
