Abstract

Excited states in ¹³³Ba were studied with the ¹³²Ba (, p) ¹³³Ba reaction at 24.0MeV, with a polarized deuteron beam using the Munich magnetic spectrograph Q3D. Many unambiguous spin-parity assignments were made up to an excitation energy of 2.2MeV, which allow a detailed comparison with different theoretical calculations, such as the interacting boson-fermion model and the shell model.
