Abstract

High spin rotational bands in the odd–odd 150Eu nucleus, produced in the 148Nd(7Li,5n) reaction, were investigated by in-beam γ spectroscopy. Seven bands above the 588.8 keV (45 ns) isomeric level were observed. Probable single- and double-octupole-phonon coupling states were identified. Two positive parity bands are interpreted in terms of two quasiparticles (a proton and a neutron) coupled to an axially symmetric rotor core. Otherwise, the rest of the high spin levels are described by multiparticle–hole excitations.
