<正>High-spin states in odd-odd 188Au has been reinvestigated via the heavy-ion 173Yb(19F, 4nγ) reactions at 86 and 90 MeV. The 19F beam was provided by the tandem accelerator at the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute (JAERI). The target was an isotopically enriched 173Yb metallic foil of 2 mg/cm2 thickness with a
