Structures and lifetimes of states in ¹¹⁰Cd

A set of measurements consisting of γ-ray excitation functions and angular distributions has been performed using the (n,n′ γ) reaction on ¹¹⁰Cd. Gamma-ray excitation functions allowed us to clarify the level scheme by placing ten new transitions and to establish one new level. From γ-ray angular distributions, the lifetimes for 16 excited states were extracted using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. The experimental B(E2), S(M1), and B(E1) values of transitions from intruder, octupole, and three-phonon states are compared to different theoretical models.
