Abstract

Nuclides in the vicinity of Ag94 have been studied with the Penning trap mass spectrometer JYFLTRAP at the Ion-Guide Isotope Separator On-Line. The masses of the two-proton-decay daughter Rh92 and the beta-decay daughter Pd94 of the high-spin isomer in Ag94 have been measured, and the masses of Pd93 and Ag94 have been deduced. When combined with the data from the one-proton- or two-proton-decay experiments, the results lead to contradictory mass excess values for the high-spin isomer in Ag94, 46370(170) or 44970(100)keV, corresponding to excitation energies of 6960(400) or 8360(370) keV, respectively.
