Abstract

High-spin states in Tl193 were studied and the level scheme was revised and extended including the observation of new rotational bands. A surprising competition between bands built on the same πh9/2 - νi13/2-2 nucleon configurations is observed. It is suggested that it is generated by two different rotational modes of this triaxial nucleus: (i) a rotation around the intermediate nuclear axis, producing a pair of chiral symmetry bands, and (ii) a rotation around the long nuclear axis, producing a third band with lower alignment.
