Abstract

The 196Pb nucleus was populated via the 184W(16O,4n)196Pb and 186W(16O,6n)196Pb reactions at beam energies of 98 MeV and 120 MeV, respectively. A new Delta I=1 magnetic dipole band has been observed. This band is believed to be built on a collective oblate configuration involving high-K proton orbitals coupled to two rotationally aligned i13/2 neutrons. The previously observed 196Pb superdeformed band was also populated in these reactions.
