SPECTROSCOPY OF THE LOW-LYING STATES NEAR THE HIGH SPIN ISOMER IN 108 Ag

A comprehensive study of the low-lying states of 108Ag, near the isomeric state at E i = 110 keV with J π = 6 + and T 1/2 = 438 y, has been presented. Spectroscopy of these states has been carried out using the reaction 100 Mo( 11 B, 3nγ) 108 Ag at 39 MeV beam energy using INGA. The multipolarities and electromagnetic nature of the transitions have been assigned based on the angular correlation and polarization measurements. The experimentally identified states have been compared to the results of the Projected Hartree-Fock calculations to understand the configurations involved in these states.
