The Decay of 106gRh

Abstract

The energies and relative intensities of 85 gamma rays following the decay of 106g Rh have been measured with a high precision in the present studies. It has been possible to resolve most of the discrepancies existing in the previous measurements regarding the presence and placement of several weak gamma transitions and energy levels in 106 Pd. A new gamma ray has been observed at 2185.7 keV and has been placed between 3320.3 and 1133.76 keV energy levels of 106 Pd. Also a new level has been proposed at 2717.4 keV so as to fit 1159.9 keV gamma ray between 2717.4 and 1557.5 keV levels of 106 Pd. Gamma-gamma angular correlation measurements have been done in case of 17 cascades. From the directional correlation analysis, spin assignments of 2 + to the levels at 2308.79, 2902.5 and 2917.9 keV, 0 + to the levels at 2828.2, 2877.9, 3082.8 and 3221.3 keV, and 1 + to the level at 3055.3 keV have been confirmed. A unique spin assignment of 2 + has been made to 2705.1 keV level. Also, the multipole mixing ratios i...
