Rotational and vibrational bands in 108Pd

The Pd-108 nucleus has been studied with the Mo-100(B-11, p2ngamma) reaction at 43 MeV incident energy. gamma - gamma - t, gamma - gamma - charged particle coincidences and directional correlation ratios were measured using the gamma spectrometer formed by four Compton suppressed HPGe detectors and a 4pi charged-particle ancillary detector system. The structure of the bands was interpreted within the framework of the cranked shell model and total Routhian calculations.
