17. Level structures in the 159 Lu nucleus DISCUSSION To further explore the possible configurations of 159 Lu. The experimental B(M1)/B(E2) ratios branching ratios were obtained, using the standard relations: Calculations for B(M1)/B(E2) from the geometric model of Dönau and Frauendorf [21] assuming the quasiparticle configurations A p, B p for bands 1 and 2, A p AB, B p AB for bands 3 and 4, and A p AE, B p AE for bands 6 and 7. We use the standard relations:

Here, K=K 1 +K 2 +K 3, the subscripts 1, 2, 3 refer to the quasiparticles, or aligned pairs of quasiparticles, that couple to form the band, and △ e′ is the signature splitting in the energies in the rotating frame. Table I. parameters used in the calculation of B(M1)/B(E2) The calculations show good agreement with the data,which supports our proposed configuration assignments.

20. Level structures in the 159 Lu nucleus DISCUSSION 159 Lu was only populated up to I ～ 30ħ, therefore it is difficult to conclude whether the band termination phenomenon is observed in this nucleus. Alignment ix as a function of rotational frequency ħω for the (a) 159 Lu (b) 157 Tm Data are taken from the ref. and the present work

21.  The high-spin states of 159 Lu were populated through the reaction 144 Sm ( 19 F, 4n) at a beam energy of 106 MeV. The level scheme for 159 Lu is established up to spin ～ 30  with the addition of about 20 new transitions.  The quasiparticle configurations of updated bands are suggested by Routhians, alignments and B(M1)/B(E2) ratios.
