Abstract
States of 126Ba up to spin 36+ were populated in the reaction 96Zr(34S, 4n)126Ba at 155 MeV and up to spin 20+ in the reaction 116Sn(13C, 3n)126Ba at 56 MeV. Gamma-ray spectroscopy was performed with the 8π spectrometer, an instrument comprising 20 Campton-suppressed HPGe detectors and 71 BGO ball elements. A level scheme organized into fifteen rotational bands is proposed on the basis on the γγ-coincidence and γ-ray angular correlation data. The competing πh 11 2 and vh 11 2 band crossings are investigated and interpreted in terms of cranked shell model and total routhian surface calculations. Amongst the topics discussed are (i) a comparison of DCO and spin orientation techniques for determining spins and multipolarities. (ii) the addivity property of quasiparticle energies or routhians, and (iii) analysis of B(M1)/B(E2, ratios between signature partner bands. The possibility of couplings between vibrational and aligned quasiparticle structures is explored.
