High-spin structure of95Pd

Abstract

The level scheme of the neutron-deficient nucleus 95 Pd has been studied with the 58 Ni + 40 Ca fusionevaporation reaction at 135 MeV with the GASP γ -ray array, the ISIS silicon ball, and the N-ring neutron detector. Excited levels with spins at least up to 45 2h are reported for both parities. The observed experimental data are compared to large-scale shell-model calculations.
