Neutron configurations in Pd 113

Excited states in $^{113}\mathrm{Pd}$, populated in ${\ensuremath{\beta}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ decay of $^{113}\mathrm{Rh}$ and in spontaneous fission of $^{248}\mathrm{Cm}$ and $^{252}\mathrm{Cf}$, have been studied by means of $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ spectroscopy at the IGISOL facility of Jyv\"askyl\"a University and using large arrays of Ge detectors (Eurogam2 and Gammasphere, respectively). The position of the ${11/2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ yrast excitation in $^{113}\mathrm{Pd}$, proposed recently at 166.1 keV by other authors, has been corrected to 98.9 keV. The decay of this level has been discussed to explain the observed transition intensities. The ${7/2}^{\ensuremath{-}}$ member of the yrast, unique-parity configuration has been identified at 84.9 keV and a band on top of this level proposed. On top of the 1/2+, first excited state a band has been built and a new 3/2+ bandhead has been proposed at 151.9 keV. A possible oblate-shape origin of these low-energy bandsheads has been discussed.
