The energy level schemes for Re-163 and Re-165 were identified using recoil-decay correlation techniques. At low spin, the yrast bands of these isotopes consist of signature partner bands based on a single pi h(11/2) quasiproton configuration. The bands display large energy splitting consistent with the soft triaxial shape typical of transitional nuclei above N = 82. The configurations of the excited states are proposed within the framework of the cranked shell model.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle91310.1103/PhysRevC.91.0343192-s2.0-84925679861N/AWOS:000351510400001Q2
