The level scheme with spin up to I = 26 in the π [h 11/2 ]ν[i 13/2 ] yrast band in 162 Lu is reported and low-spin signature inversion with the inversion point at I = 20.5h is observed in this band. In the chain of Lu doubly-odd isotopes, with increasing neutron number, the low-spin staggering magnitude of signature dependence decreases and, at the same time, the inversion point shifts to lower spin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
