HIGH-SPIN BANDS IN PD-102

The nucleus Pd-102 has been studied using 148 MeV S-34 ions impinging on Ge-76. The gamma-rays were detected with the Nordball array and the light charged particles with a 4 pi charged particle detector system. Rotational bands have been extended using gamma-ray yields, gamma gam ma coincidences and angular correlation information. Calculated spin d iabatic surfaces were used for assigning quasiparticle configurations to the bands, The (+,0) high spin band extending to 26(+) may be expla ined by a pi(g(9/2))(2) circle times nu(''g(7/2)'')(2) quasiparticle c onfiguration. The protons are predicted to align first. The negative p arity bands are suggested to be built on nu (''g(7/2)''h(11/2)) evolvi ng to pi(g(9/2))(2) circle times nu(''g(7/2)''h(11/2)) at the highest spins.
