Four bands of enhanced dipole transitions, with weak crossovers, have
been observed in Pb-195. Three of these bands are connected to the sph
erical levels. in addition, the spherical level scheme has been extend
ed. The nuclear spectroscopy was done with the early implementation of
GAMMASPHERE and HERA arrays of Get detectors. The nucleus Pb-193 was
populated in the Yb-174(Mg-24,5n) reaction at beam energies of 129, 13
1, and 134 MeV. The experimental results are compared to tilted-axis c
ranking calculations. The systematical behavior of the dipole bands in
the heavier odd-A Pb isotopes, Pb-195,Pb-197,Pb-199,Pb-201, is also d
iscussed.
