In-beam fast-timing measurements inCd103,105,107

Abstract

Fast-timing measurements were performed recently in the region of the medium-mass 103,105,107 Cd isotopes, produced in fusion evaporation reactions. Emitted γ-rays were detected by eight HPGe and five LaBr3:Ce detectors working in coincidence. Results on new and re-evaluated half-lives are discussed within a systematic of transition rates. The 7/2 + 1 states in 103,105,107 Cd are interpreted as arising from a single-particle excitation. The half-life analysis of the 11/2 − 1 states in 103,105,107 Cd shows no change in the single-particle transition strength as a function of the neutron number.

Single-particle isomeric states in121Pd and117Ru

“…4. To increase the statistics on the systematics in Figure 4, HF were calculated for a number of low-lying isomeric transitions in the odd-A Cd nuclei [10,13]. Inside the encircled regions on Figure 4 HF for the 184-keV and 135-keV isomeric transitions in 117 Ru and 121 Pd are presented.…”
