Pf. Mantica et Wb. Walters, ENHANCED E0 AND E2-TRANSITION RATES IN THE MIDSHELL XE ISOTOPES, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 53(6), 1996, pp. 2586-2590
New measurements for lifetimes of excited 0(+) and 2(+) levels in Xe-1
20 following beta decay of Cs-120 isomers are reported. From these dat
a, EO and E2 transition rates are derived which exceed values calculat
ed from models assuming only a limited valence nucleon space. The obse
rved collectivity can be described by the inclusion of additional vale
nce protons associated with particle-hole intruder configurations invo
lving the pi g(9/2) orbital.
