High spin states in 105Ag

Abstract High spin states in 105 Ag have been studied using the 103 Rh(α, 2nγ) 105 Ag reaction. A collective band on the 9 2 + state at 53.2 keV and a negative parity band with spins ranging from 15 2 to 27 2 were observed. Furthermore a 15 2 + isomeric state with T 1 2 = 6.0±0.2 ns at 1733.8 keV was identified. The g -factor deduced for this state is g = 0.58±0.06. A comparison of the experimental results with theoretical calculations indicates that the properties of most of the positive parity states are reasonably well described by the cluster-vibrational model as well as by the triaxial rotator model.
