Key words: 
• tiaxial deformation /
• signature splitting /
• odd-A nuclei

Abstract: High-spin states in~(169)Re were studied and resulted in the identification of a strongly coupled band based on the 9/2~(-)\ Nilsson state. The 9/2~(-)\ band in~(169)Re shows the largest signature splitting at low spin among the known odd mass Re isotopes. For the 9/2~(-)\ bands in light odd-A Re isotopes, the signature splitting of the Routhians and its relation with the signature dependence of M1 transition matrix elements are investigated in connection with the deviation of nuclear shape from axial symme...
