Abstract
Spectroscopic properties of the unnatural-parity states of populated through the reaction at 68 MeV beam energy, have been investigated using the Indian National Gamma Array (INGA) facility. The level scheme has been extended up to the , the band-terminating state corresponding to configuration, by adding two new levels and six new transitions to the existing level scheme. The spin-parity assignments for the observed levels were done by , , and linear polarization measurements. The multipole mixing ratios for most of the transitions were measured. Large basis shell-model calculations were carried out to explain the microscopic origin of observed levels. Interplay between single-particle and collective mode of excitations in the positive parity levels has also been discussed.
