Abstract
The 192Hg nucleus has been produced via the 36S(160Gd, 4n) reaction at a beam energy of 159 MeV. The y-rays have been detected with the multi-detector array EUROGAM phase 1. The level scheme has been extended up to 10.4 MeV excitation energy and spin 34. Two new structures, com-posed of competing A/= 1 and A/= 2 transitions, have been observed and, for the first time in Mercury isotopes, some links with the previously known low-lying states have been established. These experimental results are discussed in terms of mean-field Hartree-Fock plus BCS calculations and the new bands are proposed to originate from deformation-aligned quasi-proton excitations. n(i13 2 * hg 2)K,= n and n(hg2)j, c = 3. coupled to rotation-aligned quasi-neutrons v(/13,)" and quasi-proton n(hn 2)2 excita-tions.
