High-spin states in the doubly odd nucleus Br-76 have been investigate
d using the Mn-55(Si-30,2 alpha n) reaction at a beam energy of 130 Me
V. Five bands have been established to high spin. The features of the
level scheme, particularly the signature inversion and the band crossi
ngs in the yrast band as well as proton and neutron alignments in the
negative-parity bands, are discussed in the framework of the cranked s
hell model. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
