Smooth band termination in odd mass La nuclei : 127,129,131La
High spin states in 127,129,131La have been investigated using the 100Mo(32S,p4n), E= 160 MeV, 100Mo(34S,p4n), E=155 MeV, and 100Mo(36S,p4n), E=160 MeV reactions, respectively. γ rays were detected using the EUROBALL IV (127,131La) and EUROGAM II (129La) arrays. The results have enabled the negative parity yrast band, built on the πh 11/2 orbital at low spin, and the lowest lying (π, α) = (+, ± 1/
