Abstract

We have studied the structure of even-even cadmium isotopes via beta decay of ground and excited isomeric states of parent silver isotopes. Measurements of mass A = 116, 118 and 120 cadmium nuclides were carried out at an ion guide isotope separation on-line facility at the University of Jyväskylä. Decay schemes of ^116mAg, ^118mAg, ^120gAg and ^120mAg are considerably extended. Obtained data have enabled extension of available systematics of the three-phonon states to more neutron-rich cadmium nuclei. As a continuation we have conducted an experiment at ISOLDE, CERN to study heavier A = 122, 124, and 126 cadmium nuclides, the analysis of the collected data is underway.
