Band structure in /sup 148/Ce from the decay of mass separated /sup 148/La

The $beta$ decay of $^{148}$La to levels in $^{148}$Ce has been studied at the TRISTAN ISOL facility at Brookhaven National Laboratory's High Flux Beam Reactor. A level scheme for $^{148}$Ce is presented which identifies a first excited 0$^{+}$ state at 770.16 KeV. 0$^{+}$, 2$^{+}$ and 4$^{+}$ members of the ground state band, as well as 0$^{+}_{\beta}$, 2$^{+}_{\beta}$, 4$^{+}_{\beta}$, 2$^{+}_{\gamma}$, 3^${+}_{\gamma}$ and the 1$^{-}$ and 3$^{-}$ members of an octupole band are identified. IBA-2 calculations for the N = 90 isotones and Z = 58 isotopes are presented.
