Abstract
An isomeric state (T 1/2=4.0±0.2ns, E *=9.915 MeV,I π=61/2+)has been found in 149 Tb by measuring the half-life of the K internal conversion line of the 184 keV E2 deexciting transition. The breaking of the neutron core is theoretically expected at that spin resulting in sizeable increase of the oblate deformation.
