Isomeric and two-quasiparticle states in the neutron-excess odd-odd nucleus 134Sb

Detailed theoretical calculations of the properties of the neutron-excess odd-odd nucleus 134Sb are performed by using different theoretical approaches. A comprehensive comparison with the recent experimental data is performed; this comparison suggests the presence of isomeric states among the low-lying levels of this nucleus. These states are the twins of the corresponding levels of the odd-odd nucleus 210Bi that is situated near the stability line. The obtained results manifest the similarity of nuclear structure in the region of the “remote” doubly magic nucleus 132Sn and in the region of the classical stable doubly magic nucleus 208Pb.
