HIGH-SPIN STATES IN EU-148

High-spin states in the odd-odd nucleus Eu-148, populated by a carbon- 13 induced reaction on a lanthanum target, were investigated with seve ral different tools of in-beam nuclear spectroscopy. The low-energy le vels show collective excitations, interpreted as 3- octupole-phonon co uplings to multi-particle-hole states. A probable two-octupole-phonon state is identified. Otherwise most Eu-148 high-spin levels are interp reted in terms of fully aligned multi-particle-hole states rather well described both by a semi-empirical shell model and a deformed indepen dent-particle model.
