High-Spin Structure of 95Pd

The level scheme of the neutron-deficient nucleus 95Pd has been studied with the 58Ni+40Ca fusion-evaporation reaction at 135 MeV with the GASP γ-ray array, the ISIS silicon ball, and the N-ring neutron detector. Excited levels with spins at least up to 45/2h are reported for both parities. The observed experimental data are compared to large-scale shell-model calculations. © 2012 American Physical Society.
