In-beam study of 105In and 103In

High spin states in the isotopes 105,103In have been studied by in-beam γ-ray techniques. The reaction 51V(58Ni, 2p 2n) populated those states in 105In. A measurement of the linear polarizations of γ-rays has revealed a negative-parity band in 105In. The reaction 48Ti(58Ni, p2n) produced the isotope 103In, which has showed an yrast spectrum similar to that observed in 105In. The lifetimes of the 19/2+ and 17/2+ states in 107,105In have been measured by the recoil distance method; T1/2(19/2+)=27±4 ps and T1/2(17/2+)=1.1(+0.6-0.3) ns for 107In, T1/2(19/2+)=4±2 ps and T1/2(17/2+)=0.33±0.10 ns for 105In.
