Low-spin structure ofMo96studied with the (n,n′γ) reaction

Abstract

Extensive studies of the low-spin excited states in ${}_{42}^{96}{\mathrm{Mo}}_{54}$ with the ($n,{n}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\gamma}$) reaction have clarified the level scheme below 3.7 MeV excitation energy and determined detailed information about $^{96}\mathrm{Mo}$, including lifetimes from the Doppler-shift attenuation method, branching ratios, and multipole mixing ratios. Also, $B(E2)$ and $B(M1)$ values were determined for many transitions, multiphonon states were identified, and several low-spin states were characterized in terms of collective, mixed-symmetry states.
