Jk. Hwang et al., IDENTIFICATION OF MO-109 AND POSSIBLE OCTUPOLE CORRELATIONS IN MO-107,MO-109, Physical review. C. Nuclear physics, 56(3), 1997, pp. 1344-1349
Ten new transitions in Mo-107 have been observed and levels in Mo-109
are identified for the first time in a gamma-gamma-gamma coincidence s
tudy from the spontaneous fission of Cf-252 with 72 Compton suppressed
Ge detectors in Gammasphere. Two sets of bands, each set intertwined
by E1 transitions are observed in Mo-107 and one such set in Mo-109. T
he observed level schemes are interpreted in terms of possible octupol
e deformation originating from the strong interaction of the h(11/2) a
nd d(5/2) neutron shells.
