Abstract

High spin states in the isotope 194Hg were populated using the 150Nd (48Ca,4n) reaction at a beam energy of 213 MeV. A sequence of dip ole transitions has been observed above 8 MeV excitation energy. Cross-over transitions have also been identified. An interpretation connecting this sequence to a nuclear shape change is attempted. A comparison with similar structures in the neighbouring Hg isotopes is also attempted.
