Abstract
Excited states of187Hg have been investigated via the164Dy (28Si,5n) reaction by means of in- beam gamma-ray spectroscopy using the multidetector 4π away “Ckāteau de. Cristal”. Different bands were populated up to spin I- 45/2. Coexistence of both prolate and oblate structures is observed for the first time in an odd- A Hg isotope. The crossing of aligned and strongly coupled sequences of levels built on the vi13/2 orbital infers the near degeneracy of oblate and prolate structures in187Hg.
