Abstract
Abstract A Mo 100 ( α , 2 n ) Ru 102 fusion evaporation experiment, performed at the HORUS cube spectrometer at the Cologne FN-Tandem accelerator, is presented and discussed. Via the analysis of γγ coincidences, it was possible to extend the level scheme with 40 new levels and 81 decays. Several new spins and multipole mixing ratios were determined using the γγ angular correlation technique. In addition, a DSAM analysis was performed and 14 new effective lifetimes were determined in the femtosecond range. Thus, several effective transition strengths were determined. Investigating the phononic structure, candidates for the quadrupole–octupole phonon multiplet 2 1 + ⊗ 3 1 − were found. The data is compared to calculations within the Interacting Boson Model (IBM-1) in the U(5) limit, the O(6) limit as well as a transitional class U(5)–O(6). The low spin level energies show characteristics of multiphonon excitations and point towards 102Ru resembling an anharmonic vibrational nucleus. The B ( E 2 ) transition strengths do not exactly match this picture, and are described in a better way using the U(5)–O(6) calculation.
