    Notes: Abstract With the use of the58Ni+50Cr fusion-evaporation reaction and chemically selective on-line mass separation, the EC/β + decay of104Sn was studied byγ-ray and conversionelectron spectroscopy. In the course of these studies, a new 15.7-s isomeric state of104In was observed. Reinvestigation of theβ-decays of the two heavier even isotopes of tin, produced in the58Ni+58Ni reaction and mass separated without chemical discrimination, brought new information on the decay of106Sn and108Sn. The QEC values of104Sn,106Sn and108Sn were determined to be 4550 −250 +300 keV, 3200±100 keV and 〈 2270 keV, respectively. In the data analysis, the emphasis is put on the identification of the 0+ → 1+ Gamow-Tellerβ transitions and determination of their strengths. For104−110Sn, the total Gamow-Teller strengths are measured to be 20% to 30% of that predicted by the single-particle shell model with the inclusion of pairing correlations and core polarization. Predictions of the decay properties of the as yet unobserved102Sn and100Sn are made.

    Notes: Abstract Neutron-rich isotopes of palladium were produced via the fission of238U by 20 MeV protons. These isotopes were selected using the ion guide-fed on-line mass-separator facility IGISOL at Jyväskylä. Their decays were studied byβ-ray,γ-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy. For114Pd and116Pd, the decay schemes established previously were confirmed; additionally multipolarities were determined for a few transitions. In the case of118Pd, only an approximate half-life was known from a previous radiochemical experiment. In the present study, 15 gamma transitions were observed, most of which were placed in a decay scheme. The half-life and the decay energy were found to beT 1/2=1.9±0.1 s andQ β=4.0±0.2 MeV. The decay schemes of114Pd,116Pd and118Pd include — respectively — two, two and four 0+→1+ Gamow-Teller beta transitions with logft values between 4.1 and 5.1. The strength of these transitions is discussed in terms of the extreme single particle shell model with pairing and the spherical proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation. The possible role of deformation is considered using a shell correction method. Predictions for the decay properties of the as yet unobserved120Pd are given.

    Notes: Abstract Using the40Ca(4.2 MeV/u) +60Ni reaction and on-line mass separation, the decay properties of 46 96 Pd50 were reinvestigated. From a comparison of experimental and theoreticalβ +/(EC +β +) probability ratios, theQ EC value was deduced to be 3,450 ± 150 keV. The strength was determined for four 0+→1+ Gamow-Teller beta transitions and found to be quenched as compared to predictions of the single-particle shell model. For96Pd and94Ru the sources of this quenching are discussed.

    Notes: 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.

    Notes: Abstract For the first time, detailed decay-spectroscopic investigations were performed for the very neutron-deficientN=50 nuclide98Cd. The98Cd activity was produced in spallation reactions between 600 MeV protons and a natural tin target, yielding a98Cd beam intensity of 10 to 60 atoms/s at the collector of the ISOLDE massseparator. By means ofγ-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy, 19 transitions were found to follow the β+/EC decay98Cd→98Ag. The transitions at 61 and 107 keV were shown to beM1(+E2) andE2, respectively, and the98Cd half-life was measured as 9.2±0.3 s. TheQ EC value of98Cd is determined semiempirically and is compared to model predictions together with the measuredQ EC values of the neighbouring cadmium isotopes100,102Cd and theN=50 isotones92Mo,94Ru, and96Pd, taken from the literature. The newly established decay scheme of98Cd includes 9 excited states of98Ag. Four states at 1691, 1861, 2164, and 2544 keV are directly fed by 0+ → 1+ Gamow-Teller beta transitions with a summed strength of 3.5 −0.7 +0.8 . This value corresponds to 25±5% of the strength predicted for the GT transformation of a g9/2 proton (in98Cd) into a g7/2 neutron (in98Ag) by the extreme single-particle shell model. The GT-strength splitting and quenching, observed for98Cd, are compared with the corresponding data for lighter even-even N=50 isotones, and are discussed with reference to the predictions of more sophisticated nuclear models. We find that only in some cases it is possible to explain qualitatively the observed GT strength distribution and its total magnitude without renormalizing the free-neutron value of the axial-vector coupling constant.
