摘要

Excited states have been studied in the deformed proton emitter Cs-113. Gamma-ray transitions have been unambiguously assigned to Cs-113 by correlation with its characteristic proton decay, using the method of recoil-decay tagging. Two previously identified rotational bands have been observed and extended to tentative spins of 45/2 and 51/2 h, with excitation energies over 8 MeV above the lowest state. These are the highest angular momenta and excitation energies observed to date in any nucleus beyond the proton drip-line. Transitions in the bands have been rearranged compared to previous work. A study of aligned angular momenta, in comparison to the predictions of Woods-Saxon cranking calculations, is consistent with the most intense band being based on the pi g(7/2)[422]3/2(+) configuration, which wouldcontradict the earlier 7rh11 /2 assignment, and with the second band being based on the pi d(5/2)[420]1/2(+) configuration. The data suggest that the band based upon the pi Th-11/2 configuration is not observed.
