The nuclear structure of the odd–odd nucleus 98Y has been re-investigated
by observing prompt γ rays emitted following the proton-induced fission
of a 238U target, using the JUROGAM-II multidetector array. New highspin
decays have been observed and placed in the level schemes using triple
coincidences. The experimental level energies and γ-decay patterns are
compared to GICM and QPRM calculations, assuming that this neutronrich
N = 59 isotone is spherical at low energies and prolate deformed at
intermediate spins.
