description

Experimental evidence for shape coexistence in the odd-mass N=59 isotone 97Sr is presented. The ground state and the lowest excited levels of 97Sr are shown to be spherical, whereas a rotational band based on a state at 585 keV has been identified. Three further levels of deformed origin are proposed. Nilsson-orbital assignments are supported by RPA shell-model calculations. These findings lead to a better understanding of the structure of the odd-odd N=59 isotone 98Y.
