High-spin levels in Xe-122 have been investigated by gamma-gamma coinc
idence measurements using the EUROGAM array. The reaction Zr-96(Si-30,
4n)Xe-122 at a beam energy of 135 MeV was used. New structures of com
peting dipole to quadrupole transitions have been observed. Experiment
al B(M1)/B(E2) ratios have been extracted and compared with theoretica
l estimates.
