g factors of the and 14+ isomers in 175,176W

Abstract The g factors of the 7 2 + 235 keV isomer in 175W and the 14+ 3746 keV isomer in 176W have been measured by observing the precession of the decay γ-ray angular distribution in an external magnetic field as g 7 2 + , 175 W =−0.187(6) and g(14 + , 176 W )=+0.475(15) . A pure wave function has been assigned to the Kπ=14+ isomer from comparison with predictions based on experimental g factors of deformed single-particle orbitals in this mass region. The value gR=0.27(2) has been deduced for the rotational g factor by using the measured g factor of the 14+ state and the branching ratios in the associated band
