Abstract
High-spin states in
113-116Cd have been investigated with
the fusion-fission reaction 28Si + 176Yb at 145MeV.
The experiment has been performed with the Eurogam2 array. New rotational
bands based on two quasi-particle states have been observed for
even-even cadmium isotopes. A new level scheme based on the 11/2-
isomeric state is proposed for 115Cd and the one of 113Cd
has been extended to spin (31/2-). The decoupled bands identified in
both odd-A nuclei are interpreted as being built upon a low-
h11/2 quasi-neutron configuration. Microscopic Hartree-Fock + BCS
calculations confirm the prolate deformation in this mass region
especially for the odd cadmium isotopes.
