Abstract
The excited states of 116Sb have been studied using in-beam \(\gamma \)-spectroscopy techniques with 115In(\(\alpha \), 3n)\(^{{116}}\)Sb reaction and Indian National Gamma Array (INGA) setup at VECC, Kolkata. Various collective structures have been populated in the \(\alpha \)-induced fusion evaporation reaction. Two of the previously known bands based on (\(\pi {\text{g}}_{{9/2}}^{{ - 1}} \otimes \nu {\text{d}}_{{7/2}}^{1}\)) and (\(\pi {\text{g}}_{{9/2}}^{{ - 1}} \otimes \nu {\text{d}}_{{5/2}}^{1}\)) configurations are extended to (14+) and 16+ spin, respectively and also pair-breaking has been reported in the later. Crossover E2 transitions could also be identified in one of the bands reported earlier.
