Band structures in Ba 132

Excited states of $^{132}\mathrm{Ba}$ were studied in an experiment utilizing the $^{124}\mathrm{Sn}$${(}^{13}$C,5n) reaction at a beam energy of 65.5 MeV. The level scheme of $^{132}\mathrm{Ba}$ was considerably extended from what was previously known. Evidence is presented for neutron ${\mathit{h}}_{11/2}$ alignments, which are predicted to drive the nucleus to a shape with \ensuremath{\gamma}\ensuremath{\approxeq}-80\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}. Two strongly coupled \ensuremath{\Delta}I=1 bands were also observed.
