Mean lifetimes of 19 states have been measured in Cd-108 using the rec
oil-distance method and the NORDBALL multi-detector array in a coincid
ence-plunger experiment. The reduced transition probabilities have bee
n determined from the measured lifetimes using previously measured bra
nching ratios, and the deformation parameter beta2 has been calculated
for several bands. The experimental results have been compared to equ
ilibrium deformations obtained by total routhian surface calculations.
