The nucleus 94 Mo was investigated using a powerful combination of γ-singles photon scattering experiments and γγ-coincidence studies following the βdecay of 94m Tc. The data survey short-lived J π = 1 + , 2 + states and include branching ratios, E2/M 1 mixing ratios, lifetimes and transition strengths. The proton-neutron mixed-symmetry (MS) 1 + scissors mode and the 2 + MS state are identified from M 1 strengths. A γ transition between MS states was observed and its rate was measured. Nine M 1 and E2 strengths involving MS states agree with the O(6) limit of the Interacting Boson Model-2 using the proton boson E2 charge as the only free parameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
