Abstract
The states of the positive-parity yrast band in 80 Br have been investigated using the 76 Ge( 7 Li, 3n γ ) reaction at a beam energy of 32 MeV. The band has been extended up to 4450 keV with a spin of (14 + ). Unambiguous spin assignments are made for states up to 2944.0 keV and γ -ray multipole mixing ratios are determined for several ΔJ=1 transitions. Lifetimes studies for the 10 + , 11 + and 12 + states provide an estimate of the quadrupole deformation in this band. Cranking model analysis of the experimental data reveals a signature inversion at a spin of 12 ℏ and a probable neutron alignment at ℏω≈0.7 MeV. The results are discussed within the framework of the systematics of similar bands in the lighter Br isotopes and the cranked-shell model. In addition, a new positive-parity and two negative-parity sequences have been identified.
