Newμs isomers inTz=1 nuclei produced in the112Sn(63AMeV)+natNi reaction

Abstract

The short-lived isomeric states in the T{sub Z}=1 nuclei, {sup 94m}Pd [T{sub 1/2}=0.6(1) {mu}s] and {sup 96m}Ag [T{sub 1/2}=0.7(2) {mu}s], were identified among the fragmentation products of the {sup 112}Sn (63A MeV) + {sup nat}Ni (93.5 mg/cm{sup 2}) reaction at GANIL. The separation and identification of the reaction products was done by means of the Alpha and LISE3 magnetic spectrometers combined with time-of-flight, energy-loss, and total kinetic energy measurements. Evidence for isomeric states in {sup 80}Y, {sup 98}Cd, and {sup 102}Sn was also obtained. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
