Multi-quasiparticle high-K states, several of which are isomeric, were observed in 180 Hf with the Gammasphere array. Lifetimes in the ns -µs range were determined using centroid-shift and decay measurements within a µs coincidence time window. The configurations of high-K states involve two and four quasiparticles, with states up to K π =(18 − ) established. High-K excitations are found to be progressively more favored with increasing excitation energy. The K quantum number is quite robust up to the highest spins observed, as evidenced by the large values of the reduced hindrance for isomeric decays. Rotational bands built on three high-K states are identified, and the measured branching ratios in these sequences enable the assignment of underlying configurations. Multiquasiparticle calculations using the Lipkin-Nogami approach for pairing, with blocking included, reproduce the observed high-K energies quite well.
