Abstract
The very neutron-deficient isotope Cd-102 was produced in the reaction Cr-50(Fe-56, 2p2n) Cd-102 at 195 MeV and was identified using the Daresbury recoil separator. A pure gamma-ray spectrum belonging to the de-excitation of the excited states of Cd-102 was obtained in-beam. Twenty gamma-ray lines were identified, ten of them for the first time. The intensity balance concerning some of these gamma-rays together with the results obtained from the coincident measurements show the existence of a new set of levels which may be interpreted as being a side band confirming the coupling of(v)(-2) and (pi)(4) configurations.
