Observation Of The Vh(11/2) Sequence In The Mo-97 Nucleus

High-spin states have been studied in the Mo-97 nucleus with the reaction Se-82(F-19,p3n gamma) at 68 MeV. The main experimental result is the observation of the nuh(11/2) quasiband structure up to the 31/2(-) state at E-x = 5.5 MeV. The systematic behavior of this structure along the isotopic and isotonic sequences is presented. The structure of the Mo-97 is discussed in terms of the interacting boson-fermion model 1.
