The neutron-deficient nucleus 162Os, produced in the 106Cd(58Ni, 2n) reaction, has been studied using the JUROGAM γ-ray spectrometer in conjunction with the RITU gas-filled separator and the GREAT focal plane spectrometer, γ-ray transitions in 162Os have been assigned for the first time through the application of the recoil decay tagging technique. The excitation energy of the 2 + state and the tentative energy of the 8+ state are discussed in terms of the systematic energy trends as the N=82 shell gap is approached.
