$^{124}$In Levels Populated in the $\beta$-decay of $^{124}$Cd

ORAL

Abstract

The $\beta$-decay of $^{124}$Cd into levels in $^{124}$In was reinvestigated at the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility (HRIBF). Fifty MeV protons were bombarded on aranium targets and the induced fission products were mass separated and deposited on a moving tape in the center of an array of $\gamma$-detectors. The resulting $\gamma$-$\gamma$ coincidences revealed appreciable disagreement with previous work and has resulted in a revised ordering of the low energy states in $^{124}$In. The resulting partial decay scheme has four energy levels, three of which are new.
