Abstract:153Er and157Yb were produced via xu fusion-evaporation reaction by irradiation of142Nd and147Sm with16O, respectively. A He-jet recoil tape transport system, X-γ and γ-γ coincidence measurements were employed to separate and identify the reaction products and to study the EC/β+decay of153Er and157Yb. The EC/β+decay schemes of153Er and157Yb have been proposed for the first time, from which a new three qussi-particle state and two new single proton states have been assigned to153Ho, and a new isomer and a new rotational band have been assigned to157Tm. According to systematic behaviour of the low-laying energy levels for odd holmium and odd thulium isotopes with N=82-102, it can be seen that the change from spherical to deformed shapes of nuclear ground states in the two isotope chains appears between N=86 and 88.
