Abstract
In-beam gamma-ray and gamma-gamma coincidence measurements have been made f or the very neutron deficient nucleus Hg-176 using the recoil-decay tagging (RDT) technique. The irregular yrast sequence observed to I = 10 (h) over bar indicates that the prolate intruder band, seen in heavier Hg isotopes n ear the neutron midshell, is crossing the nearly spherical ground-state ban d of Hg-176 above I = 6 (h) over bar.
