Abstract
- High-spin states in <superscript>108,110</superscript>Pd isotopes are studied by γ-ray spectroscopy of heavy-ion-induced fission. The Pd isotopes are produced in the fission channel of the <superscript>31</superscript>P + <superscript>176</superscript>Yb reaction at beam energy 152 MeV. The prompt γ-rays are detected with the EUROBALL4 multidetector array. The yrast states of <superscript>108,110</superscript>Pd have been observed above the region of the first backbend. The level scheme of <superscript>108</superscript>Pd was extended with a new negative-parity band. The yrast sequence in <superscript>110</superscript>Pd is observed up to spin I = 14<superscript>+</superscript> and negative-parity bands have also been identified. The back bending in these even-mass Pd isotopes is associated with the alignment of the neutron (h<subscript>11/2</subscript>)² pair. The negative-parity states arise from two neutron configurations vh<subscript>11/2</subscript> ⊗ vg<subscript>7/2</subscript> and vh<subscript>11/2</subscript> ⊗ vd<subscript>5/2</subscript> and they are interpreted in the frame of two-quasiparticle + rotor model as semidecoupled bands. The observed experimental staggering in the γ-bands of <superscript>108,110</superscript>Pd supports the theoretical predictions for γ-instability of their shapes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
