High spin states in Ba-128 have been investigated with the fusion-evaporati
on reaction Zr-96 (S-36, 4n)Ba-128 at a beam energy of 150 MeV with the GAS
P-spectrometer at INFN in Legnaro, Italy. The level scheme could be extende
d to higher spins and six-quasiparticle states have been observed. The dedu
ced alignments are compared to the predictions of previously reported crank
ed shell model calculations.
