Abstract
The even-even nucleus ¹²²Ba was studied via in-beam -ray spectroscopy using the ⁴⁰Ca+⁹²Mo reaction at 190 MeV. Five bands were observed, four more that can be found in the literature. Configurations were assigned to the various bands from the comparison with the neighboring even-even nuclei.
