Abstract Within the framework of a systematic study of 0+→1+ Β-transitions in the100Sn region, the decay of the neutrondeficient isotope102Cd was investigated. This isotope was produced in16O+92Mo and58Ni+50Cr heavy-ion reactions and in proton-induced spallation ofnatSn, and mass-separated samples were prepared by means of the GSI and the ISOLDE on-line mass separators, respectively. Observations of X-rays,γ-rays, and conversion-electrons studies have led to an improved102Cd→102Ag decay scheme which includes six 0+→1+ Gamow-Teller transitions. The half-life of102Cd was redetermined with higher accuracy to be 345±8 s. Using a Si(Li)-BGO-Ge spectrometer, theΒ + endpoint energy of the main decay component was measured, yielding aQ EC value of 2587±8 keV. This very small uncertainty ofQ EC, combined with the improved knowledge of half-life and decay scheme, allows an accurate determination of the observed Gamow-Teller decay strengthB Σ (GT)=1.513±0.055 for102Cd. This result is discussed in comparison with predictions from model calculations.
