Abstract
A T-1/2 = 220 ns, eight-quasiparticle isomer, with four unpaired neutrons and four unpaired protons, has been established at an excitation energy of 6576 keV in the prolate deformed nucleus, W-178. The associated rotational band has also been identified, revealing the collective properties in the presence of blocked pairing correlations, with expected quenching of the nuclear superfluidity. The band retains a small degree of rotational alignment, and has a less-than-rigid dynamic moment of inertia.
