abstract
Levels in the neutron-rich, odd-mass 107Ru nucleus have been reinvestigated with Gammasphere by measuring high-fold, prompt coincidence events following spontaneous fission of 252Cf. The ground state band has been extended up to 27/2. The structure associated with the h11/2 excitation has been confirmed and extended to higher spin. The h11/2 band head has been established to lie at 301.8 keV. These results clear up differences between our earlier work and results from another experiment published recently. A new collective band based on a 9/2- level has been identified for the first time. Some distinct features of the level scheme are discussed.
