IBM-2 CALCULATIONS OF EVEN-EVEN PD NUCLEI

Excitation energies, electromagnetic transition strengths and static m oments in even-even Pd nuclei have been described systematically by us ing the proton-neutron interacting boson model (IBM-2), Parameters are fitted so as to be consistent with microscopic calculations. Mixed sy mmetry 2(+) states have been identified using the M1 transition streng th. The F-spin impurity of the first 2(+) state is investigated by mea ns of g-factors and M1 transitions. The calculations have been extende d to neutron-rich Pd isotopes with A > 116 for which excited states ar e still not known.
