[en] Investigations of the nucleus ⁸²Sr are considered particularly interesting, where very different configurations changing with spin and excitation energy may be observed. The present report describes the high spin band structure of ⁸²Sr deduced from an in-beam study. The experiments presented were carried out at the Niels Bohr Institute tandem accelerator laboratory. High-spin states in ⁸²Sr are populated using the ⁵⁸Ni(²⁸Si,4p)⁸²Sr reaction at a beam energy of 128 MeV. A stacked target of two self-supporting ⁵⁸Ni foils with a thickness of 0.34 mg/cm² is used. Gamma rays are detected in the NORDBALL array of 20 Compton suppressed germanium detector. Neutrons are also measured. Analysis is made of the gamma ray spectrum obtained by summing up spectra in coincidence with gamma rays in the negative parity band, in the odd spin band, in the ground band, or in the yrast band. An energy level scheme of ⁸²Sr is proposed and discussed. The kinematical moment of inertia is calculated and discussed as a function of rotational frequency for the rotational bands in ⁸²Sr. The quantum number K=0 is used in calculating the moment of inertia of the side bands.
