Excited states of 127Xe were populated in the 122Sn(9Be, 4nγ) fusion-evaporation reaction at a beam energy of 48 MeV. A sequence of ΔI = 2 γ-transitions has been observed above the Iπ = 19/2+ state at 2307 keV. Spin and parity of the states belonging to this band have been assigned firmly. The dynamic moment of inertia of this band is found to be low and almost constant as a function of angular momentum. Observed experimental features along with the results of theoretical semiclassical model calculation suggest an antimagnetic rotational character for this band.
In Table I, the multipolarity of the 172.5-keV γ transition should be E3 instead of E1. J π = 9/2 − was adopted for the 297.3-keV level from Refs. [1,2]. In the Conclusion section of the article, the spin of the 2730.3-keV isomeric state should be 23/2 instead of 21/2. These typographical errors do not affect the results and conclusion of the original article.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
