Excited levels in the multishaped ¹¹⁷Pd nucleus studied via β decay of ¹¹⁷Rh

RADIOACTIVITY ¹¹⁷Rh(β^-)[from ²³⁸U(p, F), E=25 MeV followed by separation of ¹¹⁷Rh using IGISOL-4 mass separator coupled to the JYFLTRAP Penning trap at Jyvaskyla]; measured Eγ, Iγ, Pd x-rays, βγ-, (x-ray)γ- and γγ-coin, half-life of ¹¹⁷Rh decay from γ-decay curves using plastic scintillator for β detection and Ge detectors for γ detection. ¹¹⁷Pd; deduced levels, J, π, β feedings, logft values, configurations, Gamow-Teller transition strengths. ¹¹⁷Rh; deduced preliminary J and π of ground state from theoretical calculations and systematics of Rh isotopes. Systematics of low-spin levels in odd A=101-119 Rh isotopes and odd A=103-117 Pd isotopes, isomeric states and γ transitions in odd A=105-117 Pd isotopes, and negative-parity levels in odd A, N=57-71 Mo, Ru, and Pd isotopes.
