Excited levels in Xe-141, populated in spontaneous fission of Cm-248, were
studied by means of prompt, gamma-ray spectroscopy, using the EUROGAMM2 arr
as. Level scheme of Xe-141 obtained in this work shows patterns characteris
tic of simplex symmetry with s = +i and s = -i bands present but low value
of D-0 moment indicates that octupole correlations in Xe isotopes are syste
matically lower than in Ba nuclei.
