First observation of very neutron-deficient ¹²²Ce

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁶⁴Zn(⁶⁴Zn, 2nα), E=260 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-, nγ-, (charged particle)γ-, (recoil)γ-coin. ¹²²Ce deduced levels, J, π, rotational band, angular distribution ratios, transition multipolarities, quadrupole deformation parameter. Microball and Gammasphere arrays, comparison with Woods-Saxon cranking predictions.
