Description

The β decay of the very-neutron-rich nucleus 103Y has been studied at the isotope separator IGISOL, allowing for the first time the observation of nonyrast levels in its daughter 40103Zr63. The level structure is similar to that of its isotones 101Sr and 105Mo, suggesting a large ground-state deformation of β≅ 0.4. Level systematics allows for new level assignments in both 103Zr and 105Mo. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
