Abstract

Excited states of ¹¹⁰Cd were studied with conversion electron spectroscopy following the decay of ¹¹⁰In. Internal conversion coefficients from K-shell electrons are extracted from - coincidences and compared with expected values for E1, M1, and E2 transitions, allowing the assignment of the transition multipolarities. The values for transitions connecting the and members of the deformed intruder band and the ground-state band show evidence for E0 components. The extracted value for the 708 keV transition is determined to be .
