Study of high spin states and magnetic dipole band structure in odd-A 107Cd

An experiment has been recently performed to populate the high spin states of 107Cd nuclei by using the 94Zr(16O,5n) reaction at a beam energy of 90 MeV. The 16O beam was provided by the TIFR-BARC Pelletron facility at TIFR, Mumbai. An isotopically enriched self supporting 94Zr target of thickness 0.99 mg/cm2 was used for the experiment. The de-exciting γ-rays were detected by using the Indian National Gamma Array (INGA) comprising of 20 Compton suppressed germanium clover detectors arranged in six rings (at 40°, 65°, 90°, 115°, 140° and 157°) with respect to the beam direction. A digital data acquisition (DDAQ) system based on Pixie-16 modules developed by XIA LLC was used for collecting the in-beam data. Two and higher fold coincidence events were collected. The data collection was done in the list mode format
