Excited states in the very neutron-deficient122La nucleus have been established for the first time using the92Mo(40Ca, 2α1p1n) reaction at beam energies of 190 and 200MeV. The observed transitions were grouped in three bands. Configurations have been assigned to the observed bands based on the properties extracted from the experimental data and on cranked shell model calculations.
