Lifetimes of excited states in Ru-100 determined from Doppler-shift attenua
tion measurements following the Ru-100(n,n'gamma) reaction. Absolute transi
tion rates or limits thereon were extracted for states in the three-phonon
region and were compared with an interacting boson model description of thi
s nucleus. Intruder states were identified, and a candidate for the 2(+) mi
xed-symmetry state is suggested. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
