Odd neutron nuclei near A=100: Rotational bands in103Mo and105Mo populated in theβ decays of103Nb and105Nb

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik A Atoms and Nuclei

Abstract

Theβ decays of103Nb and105Nb have been studied at the fission product separators JOSEF and LOHENGRIN. Half-lives of (1.5±0.2) s and (2.95±0.06) s, respectively, have been determined for these decays. Fromγ singles andγ-γ coincidence measurements extended level schemes for103Mo and105Mo have been established for the first time. The lowest energy levels of these nuclei are consistent with the interpretation as members of rotational bands built on a 3/2+ [411] Nilsson state. Evidence is presented for the location of the 9/2+ [404] configuration.
