Identification of β and γ vibrational bands in ¹⁰²Mo

The transitional nucleus ¹⁰²Mo has been investigated by the γ-γ-γ and γ-γ-γ-γ high statistics coincidence data obtained from the ²⁵²Cf spontaneous fission experiment at Gammasphere. A total of 55 new transitions and 24 new levels has been identified. The 1β, 1γ, 2γ vibrational bands have been established. Good systematics can be seen with the 2γ vibrational bands in neighboring ^103-108Mo. Four of the new negative parity bands in ¹⁰²Mo can form a chiral-like structure similar to the chiral doublet bands in ^104,106Mo.
