Abstract: Search for low-spin signature inversion in the πi13/2⊙νi13/2 bands in odd-odd 182,184,186Au has been conducted through the standard in-beam γ-spectroscopy techniques via the 152Sm(35Cl,5n)182Au, 172Yb(19F,5n)186Au, and 159Tb(29Si,4n)184Au reactions, respectively. The πi13/2⊙νi13/2 bands in these three nuclei have been identified and extended up to high-spin states. In particular, the inter-band connection between the πi13/2⊙νi13/2 band and the ground-state band in 184Au has been established, leading to a firm spin-and-parity assignment for the πi13/2⊙νi13/2 band. The low-spin signature inversion is found in the πi13/2⊙νi13/2 bands according to our spin-assignment and the signature crossing observed at high-spin states.
