The odd-odd 146Tb nucleus has been investigated using the 115In(34S,3n) reaction at 140 MeV incident energy using an array of eight Compton-suppressed Clover detectors. Based on the observed γ-γ coincidences, the level structure of 146Tb has been extended up to Ex∼10 MeV. Linear polarization measurements have been combined with angular correlations of the observed γ rays to assign the electromagnetic nature to the transitions. Probable origin of a cascade of M1 transitions observed around 8 MeV excitation energy has been discussed.
