Description

Ten new transitions in 107Mo have been observed and levels in 109Mo are identified for the first time in a γ-γ-γ coincidence study from the spontaneous fission of 252Cf with 72 Compton suppressed Ge detectors in Gammasphere. Two sets of bands, each set intertwined by E1 transitions are observed in 107Mo and one such set in 109Mo. The observed level schemes are interpreted in terms of possible octupole deformation originating from the strong interaction of the h11/2 and d5/2 neutron shells. copyright 1997 The American Physical Society
