Systematics of antimagnetic rotation in Cd isotopes

In recent times it has been established that the high spin states (I > 16h) of the positive parity yrast bands of 106,108Cd originate due to antimagnetic rotation (AMR). The measured B(E2) values in both the cases, show a sharp decrease with increasing spin above I = 16h. The semiclassical model calculations involving AMR show good agreement with measured B(E2) values in both 106,108Cd. In the present work, we have explored the interesting feature through a classical particle-plus rotor model which was first proposed to study the competition between the shears mechanism and core rotation
