The nuclear structure of '"Lu has been studied with the (t,u) reaction on an isotopically enriched target of '"Hf using a 17 MeV triton beam and a quadrupole-triple-dipole-type spectrometer. These measurements were combined with published (n, P), (n,e ), and (d,p) data to construct a level scheme for ' Lu. The Nilsson model including Coriolis coupling c'lculations has been used to interpret the level structure. The previously known Nilsson configurations 7/2+ f404] + 7/2 [514], 7/2+[404] -7/2 f514], 7/2+[404] -9/2+ f624], and 9/2 [514] -7/2 [514] with bandhead energies 0, 240.56, 198.01, and 342.48 keV, respectively, have been populated in the (t,a) reaction. Proposed new Nilsson configurations and bandhead energies are: 5/2+[402] -7/2 [514] at 390.21 keV, 9/2 [514] + 7/2 [514] at 485.7 keV, 5/2+[402] + 7/2 [514] at 563.89 keV, 1/2+[411] + 7/2 [514] at 726.51 keV, 1/2+ [411] -7/2 [514] at 838.36 keV, 7/2 [523] + 7/2 [514] at 1273 keV, and 3/2+ [411]+ 7/2 [514] at 1390.67 keV. The five new values of the singlet-triplet splitting energies and one new E = 0 odd-even shift observed in this study are compared with theory.
