Refined description of the positive-parity bands and the extent of octupole correlations in ¹²⁰Ba

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁵⁸Ni(⁶⁴Zn, 2p), E=255 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγγ-coin, γγ-coin, γ(θ). ¹²⁰Ba; deduced levels, J, π, DCO ratios, two-point angular correlation (anisotropy) ratios, multipolarity, B(E1), B(E2), B(E3), high-spin states, bands, configurations, alignments, moments of inertia. Comparison with unpaired cranked shell model (CNS), particle number conserving cranked shell-model (PNC-CSM), and Quadrupole and Octupole Collective Hamiltonian based on the Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov Model calculations (QOCH-RHB). Systematics of B(E1)/B(E2) of 7^- and 9^- states in even-even Xe and Ba (A=116-124). JUROGAM3 array and MARA at K130 cyclotron (JYFL).
