Description
Investigation of Te-nuclei has been subject of considerable interest because of their transitional character. Particularly, the h11/2 orbital play important role in Te nuclei, because the alignments of low-Ω h11/2 valance protons outside the core drive the nucleus towards prolate shape and the aligned high-Ω neutrons drive the nucleus towards oblate shape and induces tri-axiality. As of this, bands associated with β and γ deformation have been observed in these nuclei. Systematically, band structures associated with particle-hole configurations have been studied up to high spin, however, the structures of low lying non-yrast states are not well studied in these nuclei. The experimental data is very limited in the literature regarding non yrast states, hence, low lying states of 124Te were investigated via 122Sn(9Be, α3n)124Te reaction using INGA facility installed at 15 UD Pelletron accelerator at IUAC, New Delhi. The non-yrast states have been studied up to 12ħ. Results of the investigation will be discussed in the conference.
