“…The ground-state band GSB with I π =0+, 2+, 4+, ..., and the negative parity band NPB with I π =1 − , 3 − , 5 − .... in even-even nuclei are interwoven, forming a single octupole band with levels characterized by I π =0+, 1−, 2+, 3−, 4+, .... [12][13][14][15][16][17]. This is an example of odd-even staggering or I=1 staggering; the latter term being due to the fact that each energy level with angular momentum I is displaced relatively to its neighbors with angular momenta I= 1 [15].…”
