The relevant levels have been populated by using the Cd-108(O-16,2n)Ba-122 and the Sn-112(C-13, 3n)Ba-122 reactions. The B(E2) values deduced in the present work are compared to the predictions of the X(5) model and to calculations performed in the framework of the IBA-1 and IBA-2 models. %R 10.1103/PhysRevC.82.054311 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1010.4580 %U https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.82.054311 %P 054311-10pp
