Coexistence of principal and tilted axis rotation in Ag110

The positive-parity band structure of Ag-110 has been established for the first time. A new decay path to the isomeric 6(+) state has been observed for this band. The lifetimes of the high spin levels have been measured using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The comparison of the experimental data with the numerical results of the shears mechanism with principal axis cranking calculation indicates that this band originates due to the tilted axis rotation. On the other hand, it has already been established that the negative-parity levels in the same spin domain originate due to the principal axis rotation.
