124In levels populated in the β decay of 124Cd

Abstract

The β decay of 124Cd into levels in 124In was reinvestigated at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility. Fifty-MeV protons were bombarded on uranium targets and the induced fission products were mass separated and deposited on a moving tape in the center of an array of γ detectors. The resulting γ−γ coincidences revealed appreciable disagreement with previous work and has resulted in a revised ordering of the low-energy states in 124In. The resulting partial decay scheme has four energy levels, three of which are new.
