On the assignment of high-spin cascades to98Rh and98Pd isotopes
Isotopic assignment of high-spin cascades in98Rh and98Pd have unambigously been obtained by a suitable combination of the96Ru(α, xn yp) and the99Ru(d, xn yp) reactions. As a result the band headed by the 841.3 keV line was assigned to98Rh and the one headed by the 862.6 keVγ-ray has been found to belong to98Pd. In the case of98Rh the band is based on the (2+) ground state.
