Abstract:
The three-phonon structure of 110Cd has been studied with the (n, n(')gamma) reaction. The measurements consisted of gamma-ray excitation functions and angular distributions, and lifetimes of proposed three-phonon quadrupole states in 110Cd have been measured using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. Moreover, decay of the three-phonon 2(+) state in 110Cd at 2356 keV to a two-phonon state is observed for the first time. The experimental results allow the determination of transition rates of decays from the three-phonon excitations, and the collectivity of these states is established. The experimental B(E2) values are compared to different theoretical descriptions.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
