High-spin spectroscopy of I-122Singh, Purnima; Nag, Somnath; Selvakumar, K.; Singh, A. K.; Ragnarsson, Ingemar; Bisoi, Abhijit; Goswami, A.; Bhattacharya, S.; Kumar, S.; Singh, K.; Sethi, J.; Saha, Sudipta; Trivedi, T.; Jadhav, S. V.; Donthi, R.; Naidu, B. S.; Palit, R.High-spin states in 122 I have been investigated using the 116 Cd( 11 B,5n) 122 I reaction at a beam energy of 65 MeV and γ -ray coincidence events were recorded with the INGA spectrometer. The level scheme of 122 I has been extended up to spin I = 30. Experimental features, such as band-crossing frequencies, aligned angular momenta, signature splitting, and B(M1)/B(E2) ratios have been used for configuration assignments to low-energy band structures. Maximally aligned states involving all eight particles outside the 114 Sn core and states with one particle antialigned have been identified. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations have been used to interpret high-spin structures.
