    The study of high-spin states in 196HG
    (2006) Msezane, Bhekithemba Michael; Lawrie, J.J.; Ndwandwe, O.M.
    High-spin states in the oblate deformed even nucleus of mHg have bees studied by y-ray spectroscopy following the t98Pt (a, 6n) 196Hg reaction at an incident energy of 65 MeV. The experiment was performed at iThemba LABS using the AFRODITE array. The y-y coincidence data in two different experiments using different geometries of the y-detectors are obtained. The analysis of results, concentrating on the measurement of Directional Correlations in Oriented (DCO) state ratios and anisotropy polarization lead to extension of the level scheme up to energy E=8.3 MeV and spin I=29h. The dipole bands consist of Ml and E2 cross-over transitions were observed at higher excitation energies and spins.
