Abstract
High-spin states of the ⁴⁴Ca nucleus populated in the 68 MeV ¹⁸O + ³⁰Si reaction have been studied in a - -recoil coincidence experiment. The level scheme of ⁴⁴Ca has been extended up to 12.2 MeV. In particular, the negative-parity band has been identified with the highest I = 13^- level at 10.6 MeV. This state is interpreted as the band-terminating state for the ( d_3/2 -1 f_7/2⁵) configuration.
