New Spectroscopic Information on 98Pd
Neutron deficient 98Pd nuclei were produced in the 50Cr(58Ni,2p2α)98Pd reaction at a beam energy of 261 MeV. A revision and extension of the level structure of 98Pd is proposed. About 40 new transitions have been assigned to, and placed in the level scheme of this nucleus. A sequence of states are candidates for the negative parity 4—quasiparticle states built on the πg9/2−3 πp1/2−1 configuration predicted in the framework of the nuclear shell model.
