Abstract: High-spin Level structure of 146Tb has been studied via the 118Sn(32S,1p3n)146Tb reaction using techniques of in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy. Based on the experimental measured results, the level scheme of 146Tb has been revised significantly and extended up to an excitation energy of 8.39 MeV. The doubly odd nucleus 146Tb has one proton-particle and one neutron--hole with respect to the doubly closed nucleus 146Gd, and its low-lying states should be 2-qp states, and the high-lying states should be 4-qp states or the coupling of 2-qp state to the low-lying excited states in 146Gd core. The excitation of the fully-aligned 4-qp configurations can also be well reproduced using the empirical shell-model approaches.
