A 3-quasiparticle isomer in neutron-rich 183Ta
Excited states in neutron-rich 183Ta have been studied using a two-neutron transfer reaction of 181Ta(18O,16O) . In-beam $ \gamma$ -rays were measured in coincidence with scattered ions detected by a high-resolution $ \Delta$E -E Si telescope for reaction channel selection. Previously known 1-quasiparticle bands are extended to higher spins, and several levels including a T1/2 = 0.9(3) μs 3-quasiparticle isomer are identified.
