High spin states in Re-174 have been studied via the Tb-159 (Ne-20, 5n gamm
a) Re-174 reaction through excitation function, X-gamma and gamma-gamma coi
ncidence measurements. A stretched E2 cascade has been identified and assig
ned to be the doubly decoupled band based on the pi 1/2(-) [541] X nu 1/2(-
) [521] configuration. Other two bands with semidecoupled and strongly coup
led characters have been found and their quasiparticle configurations are q
ualitatively discussed.
