Rotational bands and band crossings in /sup 119/Xe

Description

Excited states in /sup 119/Xe have been populated via the /sup 95/Mo(/sup 27/Al,p2n) reaction at a beam energy of 105 MeV. The high-spin level structure is interpreted as consisting of rotational bands built on quasineutron h/sub 11/2/, d/sub 5/2/, and g/sub 7/2/ states. Although these positive-parity configurations differ from previous interpretations, most notably an earlier g/sub 9/2/ assignment, they are supported by experimental B(M1; I→I-1)/B(E2; I→I-2) ratios plus additional levels presented here. A backbend in the g/sub 7/2/ band is attributed to the rotation alignment of a pair of νh/sub 11/2/ quasiparticles
