Magnetic Moments of the 2$^+_1$ and 4$^+_1$ States in $^{110}$SN
ORAL
Abstract
The structure of the Sn isotopes has been studied via measurements of B(E2;2$^+_1 \rightarrow 0^+_1$) transition rates and $g$ factors of 2$^+_1$ states. Values of B(E2)'s in the lighter isotopes show an increase in collectivity below midshell, contrary to predictions from shell model calculations. In order to better establish the structure of these neutron-deficient isotopes, measurements of $g$ factors in $^{110}$Sn, where the neutrons might occupy both the $g_{7/2}$ and $d_{5/2}$ orbitals, have been carried out. The states of interest were populated in the reaction $^{12}$C($^{106}$Cd, 2$\alpha$)$^{110}$Sn, at the LBNL 88 inch cyclotron. The $\gamma$ rays were detected in ORNL and LBNL clover detectors. The transient field technique was used to obtain magnetic moments. The details of the experiment and the results will be presented.
