Abstract
A seven-quasiparticle isomer with Kπ = (49/2+) and T1/2 = 53(-7+3) ns has been identified in 179Ta. By comparing its excitation energy with results from multi-quasiparticle calculations that include the effects of blocking and residual nucleon-nucleon interactions, the isomer is assigned the π3(5/2+[402], 7/2+[404], 9/2 -[514]) ⊗ ν4(5/2-[512], 7/2 -[514], 7/2-[503], 9/2+[624]) configuration. The decay of this isomer is found to be unusually fast, a feature that is attributed to a mixing with a specific collective level. The interaction strength is found to be orders of magnitude lower than that observed between interacting collective levels. © Società Italiana di Fisica / Springer-Verlag 2004.
