Levels in 99Pd populated by the 96Ru(α,n) and (6Li,p2n) reactions
Abstract
The structure of 99Pd has been investigated via the 96Ru(α,n) and 96Ru(6Li,p2n) reactions in an attempt to populate low- and high-spin levels of this nucleus. Excitation functions and angular distributions of deexcitation γ rays have been measured to determine the spins of the levels deduced in γ-γ coincidence measurements carried out at 18 MeV (α particles) and 38 MeV (6Li particles), respectively. Several new excited levels are found in the present measurements and the results show that the level structure of 99Pd bears a strong resemblance to that of the isotone 97Ru. It appears also that 99Pd may fit nicely into the systematics evinced in the heavier odd-A Pd nuclei.
