High spin states are populated in Ag-102 using the reaction O-16 + Y-8
9 With projectile energies in the energy range 60-80 MeV. Gamma multip
olarities are inferred from DCO ratios and coincidence relationships a
re established among the gamma rays assigned to Ag-102. A comprehensiv
e level scheme is constructed with four band systems, two of positive
parity and the other two of negative parity. The present study extende
d spins upto 19(-) in the main negative parity band. A new band is pop
ulated in the present work and is similar to the one observed in Ag-10
6.
