Abstract

The level scheme of 177 Lu has been studied in the (n, γ) reaction up to excitation energies of about 2.2 MeV. The singles γ-ray spectrum and γγ coincidences have been measured using Ge(Li) detectors, and conversion electrons have been measured up to 2.2 MeV with a β-spectrograph. Many levels above 1.2 MeV were found to be excited directly from the capture state at 7070.8 keV. The de-excitation of these levels to lower rotational bands was investigated. The positions of the Nilsson orbitals 1 2 − [541], 7 2 − [523] and the γ-vibrational state ( K 0 −2) associated with the 7 2 + [404] state are discussed. The rotational bands of the states 7 2 + [404], 9 2 − [514] , 5 2 + [402] and 1 2 + [411] are discussed in terms of a rotational formula. The quantities Q 0 , g and ( g k - g r ) 2 / Q 0 2 have been deduced.
