Evolution from quasivibrational to quasirotational structure in 155Tm and yrast 27/2− to 25/2− energy anomaly in the A ≈ 150 mass region

Abstract
Excited states in 155Tm have been populated via the reaction 144Sm(16O, p4n)155Tm at a beam energy of 118 MeV. The ground-state band has been extended and a new side band of the ground-state band is identified. E-GOS curves and potential energy surface calculations are employed to discuss the structure evolution of the ground-state band. The newly observed side band in 155Tm is discussed based on the spin/energy systematics. In particular, the phenomenon of seniority inversion is proposed in 155Tm, and a systematic study of this phenomenon in the A ≈ 150 mass region is performed.
