Structural Ambiguities In 114Cd

Properties of low‐spin states in 114Cd have been studied through the (n,n′γ) reaction. Gamma‐ray angular distributions and excitation functions have been used to characterize the decays of the excited levels, and level lifetimes have been obtained with the Doppler‐shift attenuation method. Data have been compared with the theoretical calculations following the Interacting Boson Model. Multiphonon states have been explored on the basis of their decay scheme and collective nature of the transitions.
