Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy of A$\approx $100 Nuclei

Structural evolution is often characterized as a function of nucleon number. When investigating a specific nuclide, structural evolution may be described as a function of angular momentum, referred to as the E-GOS (E-Gamma Over Spin) method. An experiment was performed using the ESTU tandem Van de Graff accelerator at the Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory at Yale University. Several nuclei in the A$\approx $100 region were populated via the fusion-evaporation reaction $^{92}$Zr($^{12}$C,4n+$\gamma )^{100}$Pd. Subsequent gamma ray emissions were detected using the detector array SPEEDY, which is comprised of eight clover-leafed HP Ge crystal detectors. Data were collected at four different beam energies: 66, 68, 70, and 75MeV. The data will be interpreted utilizing the E-GOS method.
