The $\pi h_{11/2}^{-1}\nu i_{13/2}^{-2}$ three-hole isomeric state and octupole core excitation in the 205 Tl nucleus

New high-spin states were identified in the 205Tl isotope produced in deep-inelastic heavy-ion reactions. The expected 29/2 + yrast state and 35/2- isomeric state with 235 ns half-life were located above the 2.6 μs isomer known from previous studies. Above this isomer a 7092 keV level was interpreted as a 41/2 + state arising from the coupling of the octupole vibration of the 208Pb core with the three-hole structure of the 35/2- isomer.
