Abstract

Medium-spin states in ¹²²Te have been populated using the reaction ¹¹⁶Cd (¹¹B, p4n)¹²²Te at a beam energy of 65MeV and - coincidences were measured using the INGA spectrometer. The previously known level scheme has been extended to spin with the observation of the maximally aligned state at spin 22⁺. The experimental results are compared with the shell model calculations. The configurations of the energy levels and terminating states are discussed.
