Rotational and vibrational states in 115Te
High-spin states of the 115Te were studied by in-beam spectroscopy with the 89Y (29Si, p2n) fusion-evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 108 MeV. γ−γ coincidence and γ−γ angular correlation analyses were employed for determining the level scheme of 115Te. We have identified two vibrational-like bands built on the νh11/2 and νg7/2 quasiparticle states and the noncollective oblate states from the full alignment of quasiparticle configurations. In addition, a regular ΔI = 2 sequence with positive-parity was found for the first time in odd-A Te nuclei. This sequence is interpreted as a deformed structure resulting from three-quasiparticle alignment having the [π(g7/2, h11/2) ⊗ ν(h11/2)] configuration. Calculations of total Routhian surfaces and cranked shell model were performed and were used for assigning quasiparticle configurations to the states in 115Te.
