Abstract

Excited states of the neutron-rich nuclei ^97,99Rb were populated for the first time using the multistep Coulomb excitation of radioactive beams. Comparisons of the results with particle-rotor model calculations provide clear identification for the ground-state rotational band of ⁹⁷Rb as being built on the πg_9/2 [431] 3/2⁺Nilsson-model configuration. The ground-state excitation spectra of the Rb isotopes show a marked distinction between single-particle-like structures below N=60 and rotational bands above. The present study defines the limits of the deformed region around A∼100 and indicates that the deformation of
⁹⁷Rb is essentially the same as that observed well inside the deformed region. It further highlights the power of the Coulomb-excitation technique for obtaining spectroscopic information far from stability. The ⁹⁹Rb case demonstrates the challenges of studies with very short-lived postaccelerated radioactive beams.
