Abstract

Excited states in Sb-110 have been identified for the first time in a series of gamma-spectroscopy experiments using both thin and backed targets, including neutron-fold and recoil-mass measurements to provide unambiguous channel identification. The three decoupled intruder bands observed in Sb-110 are based upon configurations involving 2p-2h excitations across the Z = 50 shell gap and show the features of smooth band termination. The yrast intruder band, which has been connected to the low-spin levels, is tentatively identified up to its predicted termination at I-pi = 45(+). Excellent agreement with configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations is obtained for the high-spin states near termination.
