High-spin states have been studied in Ce-128, produced in the Mo-100(S-32,
4n) reaction, using the EUROBALL gamma-ray spectrometer. A quadruples analy
sis (gamma(4)) of the data has extended several bands to high spin. Systema
tics of quasiparticle alignments in cerium isotopes and relevant isotonic c
hains are discussed and compared to Woods-Saxon cranking calculations. (C)
