Non-collective oblate states in121Te

The high spin states in121Te, populated via the114Cd(11B,p3n) reaction at 60 MeV, have been investigated using γ-ray spectroscopic techniques. The level structure above the vh11/2 isomeric state (t1/2=154d) has been substantially extended uptoJπ=51/2− at an excitation energy of 8293 keV.Non-collective oblate states based on (πg27/2⊗vh11/2)21/2-,23/2- and (πg27/2⊗vh311/2)39/2 have been identified.
