In beam spectroscopy and cross-section studies for the106Cd+12C reaction

“…2. The lower members of the ground band identified in this in-beam measurements are in agreement with the ones ascribed to 116Xe in the decay of 116Cs [2,3]. The 8 +, 10 + and 12 + assignments of the levels respectively at 2210, 2961 and 3744keV ( Fig.…”

“…A partial level scheme has been previously proposed [3] in complete disagreement with information obtained in these 1~6Cs decay studies. Moreover, in a recent inbeam measurement concerning iodine isotopes, Chowdhury et al [4] have assigned to l~5I, a band based on an 11/2-state with few level spacings identical to the ones ascribed to ll 6Xe by the Isolde group [2].…”

“…The stronger y-lines (393.5-524.3 and 616 keV) are decaying with the T1/2=3.8 s and can be considered as 116 transitions in Xe. These two recent independant measurements are in complete disagreement with the cascade of transitions (337-469-660 and 620keV) observed on-line by Hashizume et al [6] in the 1~ 5n) reaction and identified as the ground band of 116Xe" Besides this information, to look for the production of the different nuclei excited in the l~ 12C reaction, we have used the known experimental results concerning the decay of l'6Xe [7,8], of the other members of the A = 116 chain [3,9,10] and of the neighbouring A= 115 chain [11,12] and A= 117 chain [13].…”

The beta decays of 126Cd and 126In to levels in 126In and 126Sn

“…(The list of references to studies done on even-even Sn levels is too extensive to include as part of this report (some infor mation is available on the levels in even-even Sn nuclei from A = 104 to A = 130), but a complete list for any of the Sn nuclei may be found in Nuclear Data Sheets. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Nuclear structure studies in the Z = 50 region have been reviewed by Baranger,3* and her article contains an excellent overview of the motivation for these studies and of the results. More will be said about the systematics of the even-even Sn (as well as tha odd-odd In) nuclei in Chapter V. These systematics have been helpful in the present study in assigning specific values to many of the i2*Sn levels.…”
