Excited states of Ba-132 were studied in an experiment utilizing the S
n-124(C-13,5n) reaction at a beam energy of 65.5 MeV. The level scheme
of Ba-132 was considerably extended from what was previously known. E
vidence is presented for neutron h(11/2) alignments, which are predict
ed to drive the nucleus to a shape with gamma approximate to-80 degree
s. Two strongly coupled Delta I=1 bands were also observed.
