Abstract
Rotational bands in 73Br have been investigated up to spins of I = 65/2 using the EUROBALL III spectrometer. One of the negative-parity bands displays the highest rotational frequency ℏω= 1.85 MeV reported to date in nuclei with A ≥ 25. At high frequencies, the experimental J(2) dynamic moment of inertia for all bands decreases to very low values, J(2) ≤ 10ℏ2 MeV-1. The bands are described in the configuration-dependent cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model. The calculations indicate that one of the negative-parity bands is observed up to its terminating single-particle state at spin 63/2. This result establishes the first band termination in the A ≈ 70 mass region.
