Data analysis for spectroscopy of $^{108}$Ag via single-neutron transfer

POSTER

Abstract

$^{108}$Ag contains an isomeric state with excitation energy of 110 keV and a half-life of 418 years. A level above this state with excitation energy of 364 keV provides decay paths to both the isomeric and ground states; therefore, this level might serve to enable an induced depletion of the isomer. To obtain improved level data, an experiment was conducted at the tandem accelerator facility, JAEA, Tokai where a beam of $^{18}$O ions were incident on a $^{107}$Ag target. Arrays of Si $\Delta $E-E detectors and HPGe detectors were arranged to detect projectile-like ions and gamma rays, respectively. Among numerous reactions, single-neutron transfer produced excited states in $^{108}$Ag with scattered projectile-like $^{17}$O ions. This poster will discuss data sorting to extract these events and preliminary analysis of the corresponding gamma-gamma coincidence matrix.
