摘要
Excited states of the odd-odd nucleus 122I are investigated via the fusion-evaporation reaction 116Cd(11B,5n)at a beam energy of 68 MeV.The two most strongly populated bands in 122I are observed up to excitation energies around 10.5 MeV.Their possible configurations at lower spins are assigned toπh_(11/2)■νh_(11/2) andπh_(11/2)■νd_(5/2) based on the observed population,B(M1)/B(E2)values,alignments and signature splitting.E1 transitions are observed connecting theπh_(11/2)■νd_(5/2) band to theπh_(11/2)■νh_(11/2) band,which may be evidence of octupole collectivity.Band terminations caused by the full alignment of the valence nucleons outside the 114Sn core are observed in both bands.
