Description

The 192Hg nucleus was populated in the 160Gd(36S, 4n) reaction at a beam energy of E=159 MeV. Emitted γ-rays were detected with the EUROGAM array comprising 43 Compton-suppressed large volume Ge detectors. The level scheme of 192Hg has been extended up to an excitation energy of E=10.4 MeV and spin I=34 h. Two new structures, made of competing ΔI=1 and ΔI=2 transitions have been observed and their connexions with the low-lying levels established. Their lowest levels are located at 6.304 MeV and 6.879 MeV excitation energy. The experimental results are compared with mean-field HF+BCS calculations. It is proposed that the new structures originate from deformation-aligned quasi-proton excitations π(i13/2*h9/2)K=11 and π(h9/2)K=82, coupled to rotation-aligned quasi-neutron ν(i13/2)n and quasi-proton π(h11/2)2 excitations.
