Title: New, low-energy excitations in 107Mo and 109Mo

Journal Article · · Physical Review C

New ground-state level with spin-parity 1/2+ is established in 109Mo, 69.8 keV below the previously reported 5/2(+) ground state in this nucleus, based on precise spectroscopy measurements of gamma radiation following spontaneous fission of 248Cm performed using the Eurogam2 array of anti-Compton spectrometers. Analogous measurement of gamma radiation following spontaneous fission of 252Cf, performed using the Gammasphere array, confirms the new 1/2+ ground state of 107Mo, proposed recently and establishes the isomeric character of the 5/2+ first excited state in 107Mo. Two beta-decaying isomers are suggested in 111Mo nucleus based on regular energy systematics, supporting previous predictions. Low-energy excitations in Mo isotopes are interpreted and compared to calculations reported in the literature. The results suggest shape transition from prolate to oblate deformation at N >= 67.
