Lifetimes of high-spin states in the N=52-54 Ru nuclei have been investigated via the {sup 65}Cu({sup 36}S,pyn){sup 96,97,98}Ru (y=4,3,2) reactions using the recoil-distance Doppler-shift technique. The data were collected in coincidence mode. Lifetimes have been extracted for both the positive- and the negative-parity states in {sup 96}Ru and {sup 98}Ru and for the positive-parity states in {sup 97}Ru. The levels studied have lifetimes in the range 2-31 ps. The observed reduced transition probabilities B(E2) and B(M1) are compared with the predictions of the shell model. Theoretical implications of these results are discussed. (c) 1999 The American Physical Society.
