Evidence of antimagnetic rotational motion in ¹⁰³Pd

NUCLEAR REACTIONS ⁹⁴Zr(¹³C, 4n)¹⁰³Pd, E=55 MeV; measured Eγ, Iγ, half-lives of levels in the negative-parity yrast band by Doppler-shift attenuation method (DSAM) using the INGA array of 18 Compton suppressed HPGe clover detectors. ¹⁰³Pd; deduced levels, J, π, B(E2), configurations, dynamic moment of inertia, antimagnetic rotational (AMR) band structure; calculated total Routhian surface (TRS) contour for the negative-parity yrast band in (β₂cos(γ+30°), β₂sin(γ+30°)) plane, and quasiparticle Routhians for proton and neutron using cranked-shell model. Comparison of spin versus angular frequency distribution and B(E2) values with tilted-axis cranked-shell model calculations based on the covariant density functional theory, and with semi-classical particle-rotor model calculations.
