The low-spin level structure of SPd was studied using high-resolution large volume Ge(Li) detectors for y-ray singles, coincidence, and angular correlation measurements.The measurements allowed the resolution of most of the discrepancies found among previous studies. In particular, the use of two Geg i) detectors for coincidences and angul. ar correlations allowed unambiguous placement of previously multiply placed y rays and resolved discrepancies in energy level or J" assignments. The experimental level structure and B(E2) ratios are compared with predictions of an anharmonic spherical vibrator model and a rotor-vibrator model; we find that the evidence strongly supports the latter of the two models.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
