High spin states in Cd-104 have been investigated by means of heavy io
n induced reactions using the Nordball detector array. The level schem
e constructed from yy-coincidences is dominated by three band structur
es, The positive parity band shows no rotational like energy spacing,
It is thus understood mostly in terms of quasiparticle excitations wit
h vd(5/2), Vg(7/2) and pi g(9/2) configurations, The collective proper
ties of the negative parity bands are more pronounced. These bands are
most likely due to v(h(11/2),d(5/2)) and v(h(11/2)g(7/2)) structures.
