Abstract
The band structures built on the 5- isomeric state ( T1/2=3.46 m) in the doubly odd 130Cs nucleus have been established up to $I=24\hbar$ via the 124Sn(11B, 5n)130Cs reaction. The previously observed bands based on the $\pi h_{11/2} \otimes \nu h_{11/2}$, $\pi
g_{7/2} \otimes \nu h_{11/2}$ and $\pi d_{5/2} \otimes
\nu h_{11/2}$ configurations and a positive-parity side band with multiple connections to the $\alpha=0$ signature partner of the yrast $\pi h_{11/2} \otimes \nu h_{11/2}$ band have been extended to higher spins. A new band based on the $\pi h_{11/2} \otimes \nu
g_{7/2}$ configuration is observed. The yrast $\pi h_{11/2} \otimes \nu h_{11/2}$ band exhibits anomalous signature splitting whose magnitude decreases up to spin 15 and then increases without restoring the normal signature splitting.
