The¹⁰⁷Ag(n, γ)¹⁰⁸Ag reaction

Low-lying states near the ${I}^{\pi }={6}^{+}$ isomer in ${}^{108}\mathrm{Ag}$

“…Ag reaction in the works mentioned in [8,10,12] and also in the 107 Ag(d, p) 108 Ag reaction [9]. Espinoza-Quiñones et al have studied the low spin part of the 108 Ag nucleus in the same fusion evaporation reaction as ours and at the same energy but with a smaller number of single crystal HPGe detectors [11].…”

“…The previously reported works which have discussed the low-lying states of 108 Ag are mentioned in [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The motivation of the present work is to extend knowledge of the level scheme using higher statistics data obtained from the Indian National Gamma Array (INGA) and to ascertain the spin-parity assignments of the concerned low-lying energy levels near the isomeric state.…”

p-n Multiplets and band-like structures in106Ag

“…In all three isotopes there is a low-lying 2-level with the energy smoothly increasing with decreasing neutron number. It appears reasonable to assume that these 2-states are members of the multiplet rc(g9/2)o 2 7t(pl/2) -1 vds/2 as mentioned in [12] for 1~…”

Nuclear dipole strength in the tail of the giant dipole resonance (GDR)

“…The respective procedure used in ref. [47] was repeated on the basis of the most recent Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 108 [48] and previous very detailed gamma decay data [49]. From this information, apparently not used by [47], it appears that the normalization factor 91/137 = 0.66 used in [47] is to be replaced by 1.…”

“…From this information, apparently not used by [47], it appears that the normalization factor 91/137 = 0.66 used in [47] is to be replaced by 1. As in [49] all transitions following the n-capture are properly normalized to the final nucleus' radioactivity the additional normalization is to be omitted. After this modification a combination of the (n,γ)-results to the (γ,n)-excitation function [36,44] yields a smooth energy dependence similar to the slope indicated in the capture data.…”
