Spectroscopy of ¹³⁶Ce

The A~135 mass region is the forefront of nuclear structure research because of different variety of interesting phenomena such as the occurrence of chiral partner bands and wobbling bands. Previously the excited states of Ce in this mass region were investigated and several bands were reported. The study of evolution of nuclear shapes, changing role of pairing and Coriolis forces, etc. with increasing rotational frequency has enriched our knowledge about the interplay of collective and non-collective modes of excitations in producing richness in nuclear spectra. In this work, we report an experimental investigation of low lying exited states of ¹³⁶Ce nucleus
