The transient-field technique has been used in both conventional kinematics and inverse kinematics to measure the g factors of the 2 + 1 states in the stable even isotopes of Ru, Pd and Cd. The statistical precision of the g(2 + 1 ) values has been significantly improved, allowing a critical comparison with the tidal-wave version of the cranking model recently proposed for transitional nuclei in this region.
The g factors of the 2 + 1 states in 54 Fe and 58 Fe have been measured relative to the 2 + 1 state g factor of 56 Fe using the transient-field technique in inverse kinematics. The results are in satisfactory agreement with recent shell model calculations in the fp model space. For 56 Fe and 58 Fe the g factors approach Z/A and are therefore also consistent with collective interpretations of these 2 + states.
Sn the E2 transition strengths deduced from the measured lifetimes are in disagreement with the previously adopted values. They indicate a shallow minimum at N = 66 in contrast to the maximum at mid-shell predicted by modern shell model calculations.
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.
