Sets of rotation-aligned bands indicating nonaxiality in Au-190

• The level scheme of Au-190 was extended up to high spin using gamma spectroscopy with the Eurogam-II array and internal conversion measurements with the electron- gamma spectrometer of Orsay. Several sets of rotation-aligned bands were found and associated with high- j, low- K configurations. According to the total Routhian surface and cranked shell model calculations these bands are caused by the nonaxiality of the nuclear deformation (gammaless than or equal to-70degrees). Furthermore, very good agreement was obtained between the experimental data and the theoretical predictions for the properties of these bands, such as alignments, band-crossing frequencies, and signature inversion, thus supporting the suggested nonaxial shapes.
