Abstract
Excited states in $^{174}\mathrm{Re}$ have been populated in fusion-evaporation reactions at the Australian National University, and $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray spectroscopy has been used to determine the level structure and to deduce the underlying nucleon configurations. The half-life of the bandhead of the ${K}^{\ensuremath{\pi}}={8}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ band has been measured to be 2.7(4) ns. A band built on an isomeric state of spin-parity (${14}^{\ensuremath{-}}$) and a half-life of 53(5) ns has been observed here for the first time, and has been determined to have a four-quasiparticle structure. Contrasting reduced-hindrance values for its decay are discussed in terms of deformation and configuration changes, as indicated by configuration-constrained potential energy surface calculations.
