    Abstract

    Excited states in the extremely neutron-decient nucleus 172Pt were populated via 96Ru(78Kr; 2p) and 92Mo(83Kr; 3n) reactions. The level scheme has been extended up to an excitation energy of ≈ 5 MeV and tentative spin-parity assignments up to Iπ = 18+. Linear polarization and angular distribution measurements were used to determine the electromagnetic E1 character of the dipole transitions connecting the positive-parity ground-state band with an excited side-band, firmly establishing it as a negative-parity band. The lowest member of this negative-parity structure was rmly assigned spin-parity 3. In addition, we observed an E3 transition from this 3 state to the ground state, providing direct evidence for octupole collectivity in 172Pt. Large-scale shell model (LSSM) and total Routhian surface (TRS) calculations have been performed, supporting the interpretation of the 3 state as a collective octupole-vibrational state.
