Selection rules for electromagnetic transitions in triaxially deformed odd-A nuclei

The approximate selection rules for the interband and intraband electromagnetic transitions are predicted referring to two quantum numbers, which are derived from an algebraic solution for the particle-rotor model with one high-j nucleon coupled to a triaxially deformed core. It is shown that the inclusion of angular momentum dependence for moments of inertia reproduces the experimental excitation energies relative to a reference quite well both for positive and negative parity TSD bands in Lu-161,Lu-163,Lu-165,Lu-167.
