Abstract

Two of the four known rotational bands in Rb-75 were studied via the Ca-40(Ca-40,alpha p)Rb-75 reaction at a beam energy of 165 MeV. Transitions were observed up to the maximum spin I-max of the assigned configuration in one case and one-transition short of I-max in the other. Lifetimes were determined using the residual Doppler shift attenuation method. The deduced transition quadrupole moments show a small decrease with increasing spin, but remain large at the highest spins. The results obtained are in good agreement with cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations, which indicate that these rotational bands do not terminate, but remain collective at I-max.
