Spectroscopy study of the proton emitter {sup 109}I.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C
Excited states in the proton-unbound nucleus {sup 109}I were populated using the {sup 54}Fe({sup 58}Ni,p2n) reaction at a beam energy of 220 MeV. Gamma rays in {sup 109}I were identified using the recoil-decay tagging technique. The analysis of proton-correlated {gamma}{gamma} coincidence data produced the yrast decay sequence in {sup 109}I, which can be tentatively assigned as built on the h{sub 11/2} proton state based on systematic trends in the neighboring isotopes. This sequence is completely different from that reported previously. A comparison of the h{sub 11/2} band in {sup 109}I with those in heavier iodines shows that {sup 109}I continues the trend of decreasing quadrupole deformation with decreasing neutron number.
