High-spin states have been populated in Xe-113(54) using the Ni-58(Ni-58,2p
n) reaction. A backed-target experiment, at a low beam energy of 210 MeV, w
as performed using the JUROSPHERE spectrometer, while a thin-target experim
ent at 250 MeV was performed using the GAMMASPHERE spectrometer in conjunct
ion with the MICROBALL charged-particle detector array and a neutron-detect
or array. Several new band structures have been identified, one of which ex
hibits characteristics of smooth termination at high spin.
