Oblate deformation in neutron-rich Ag ,119 118

High-spin-level schemes of $^{118,119}\mathrm{Ag}$ are established for the first time by analyzing the high statistics $\ensuremath{\gamma}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\gamma}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ and $\ensuremath{\gamma}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\gamma}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\gamma}\text{\ensuremath{-}}\ensuremath{\gamma}$ coincidence data from the spontaneous fission of $^{252}\mathrm{Cf}$ at Gammasphere. Two bands with 12 new levels in $^{118}\mathrm{Ag}$ and three bands with 14 new levels in $^{119}\mathrm{Ag}$ have been identified. A total Routhian surface calculation and projected shell model calculation have been performed to understand the behavior of these two nuclei. The calculations indicate oblate shape in $^{118,119}\mathrm{Ag}$.
