Abstract
The nucleus 198Pb was populated via the W-186(O-17, 5n) 198Pb reaction at beam energies of 92 and 98 MeV. A highly regular rotational DELTA-I = 1 band has been found. Angular correlation measurements confirm the transitions to be dipoles. Assuming M1 multipolarity for these transitions the experimental data are interpreted in terms of a pi([505]9-/2 x [606]13+/2)K(pi) = 11- x nu(i13/2)2 configuration of oblate shape. This is the first such collective oblate structure identified in the A approximately 200 mass region.
