Collective states, single-particle states, and ''stapler'' mechanism in 117 In*
Abstract
Abstract High-spin states of 117 In are studied through the incomplete fusion reaction induced by 7 Li with 116 Cd. A total of 19 new levels and 22 new transitions are observed. A pair of signature partner bands with the configuration is identified. The single-particle states are described through shell-model calculations. The dipole band with the configuration of is proposed as a ''stapler'' band based on the calculations of tilted axis cranking covariant density functional theory. The ''stapler'' mechanism in In isotopes is systematically investigated. The present study reveals the diversity of excitation modes in 117 In.
