Measurement of the g-factor of the yrast 10+ state in 110Cd

Abstract

The gyromagnetic ratio of the yrast 10+ state in 110Cd has been measured using the ion-implantation perturbed-angular-distribution (IMPAD) technique. Assuming previously published values for the lifetime of the state and the internal magnetic field strength of Cd in Gd, a g-factor of -0.09(3) was obtained. This is somewhat smaller than the value expected for a pure (h11/2)2 two-neutron configuration. The difference can be accounted for by relatively small admixtures of collective and/or proton-configuration components in the 10+ state wavefunction. Show more
