Abstract

High-spin states in Tl-198 were studied using the Au-197(alpha, 3n) reaction. The level scheme was considerably extended including two new bands and several non-yrast levels. One of the new bands is possibly a chiral partner to the yrast pi h(9/2) circle times vi(13/2)(-1) band. Two-quasiparticle-plus-triaxial-rotor model calculations suggest an aplanar orientation of the total angular momenta for these bands, thus supporting possible chirality.
