EVIDENCE OF ROTATIONAL BEHAVIOUR IN Te-120 ISOTOPE

A multi-step Coulomb excitation experiment was performed to study the structure of stable 120Te nuclei using a 32S beam from the HIL cyclotron U-200P. The ground-state band up to the 4+ state was populated. In addition, the excitation of the 2+ 2 and 0+ 2 states was also observed. Magnitudes and relative signs of the transitional matrix elements between the low-lying states in 120Te were determined using the least-squares search code GOSIA. The diagonal matrix elements of the first 2+ and 4+ states were extracted.
