Evidence for wobbling excitation in 161Lu
High-spin states in 161Lu were investigated using the EUROBALL spectrometer. A previously known triaxial superdeformed band has been extended to higher spins and a new band with similar characteristics has been discovered. Comparison to systematically occurring wobbling bands in Lu isotopes strongly suggests that these two bands represent the nw = 0 and 1 wobbling excitations in 161Lu
