Particle-number conserving analysis for the 2-quasiparticle and high-KK multi-quasiparticle states in doubly-odd 174,176{}^{174, 176}Lu

Two-quasiparticle bands and low-lying excited high-$K$ four-, six-, and eight-quasiparticle bands in the doubly-odd ${}^{174, 176}$Lu are analyzed by using the cranked shell model (CSM) with the pairing correlations treated by a particle-number conserving (PNC) method, in which the blocking effects are taken into account exactly. The proton and neutron Nilsson level schemes for ${}^{174, 176}$Lu are taken from the adjacent odd-$A$ Lu and Hf isotopes, which are adopted to reproduce the experimental bandhead energies of the one-quasiproton and one-quasineutron bands of these odd-$A$ Lu and Hf nuclei, respectively. Once the quasiparticle configurations are determined, the experimental bandhead energies and the moments of inertia of these two- and multi-quasiparticle bands are well reproduced by PNC-CSM calculations. The Coriolis mixing of the low-$K$ ($K=|\Omega_1-\Omega_2|$) two-quasiparticle band of the Gallagher-Moszkowski doublet with one nucleon in the $\Omega = 1/2$ orbital is analyzed.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables, to be published at Chinese Physics
