In the r-process waiting-point nucleus Pd128, a new isomer with a half-life of 5.8(8) μs is proposed to have a spin and parity of 8+ and is asAuthor/s retain copyrightKeywords: Electric quadrupole transition; Half lives; Level sequence; Level structure; Magic numbers; Neutron number; Neutron-rich nuclei; Shell closures; Isotopes; Neutrons; Isomers201310.1103/PhysRevLett.111.1525012016-02-24
