120Cd and 122Cd

“…In most cases the In ground and isomeric states are describable as π(g 9/2 ) −1 ⊗ ν(g 7/2 ). The ground state J π of the even mass In from 114 to 122 are all 1 + [1,2], with the result that the β-decays of the 0 + 118,120,122 Cd [1,2] nuclei have only been observed to decay to the ground states of the corresponding In isotopes ( 114,116 Cd are stable). For the case of the β-decay of 124 Cd, Folgelberg et al .…”

The β-decay of 124 Cd into levels in 124 In was reinvestigated at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF). Fifty MeV protons were bombarded on aranium targets and the induced fission products were mass separated and deposited on a moving tape in the center of an array of γ-detectors. The resulting γ-γ coincidences revealed appreciable disagreement with previous work and has resulted in a revised ordering of the low energy states in 124 In. The resulting partial decay scheme has four energy levels, three of which are new.

“…Cadmium-120 is also produced, but decays only to beta decaying states in the In daughter (i .e. no γ-rays are associated with this decay) [24]. The other members of the isobaric chain (Pd, Rh) are refractory metals, which have a very low efficiency for release from the ion source, and are not observed.…”
