Abstract

Excited states in the neutron-deficient nuclide ¹⁵⁵Hf
have been investigated in experiments performed at the Accelerator Laboratory of the University of Jyväskylä. The ¹⁵⁵Hf
nuclei were produced in fusion-evaporation reactions induced by beams of 295 and 315 MeV ⁵⁸Ni
ions bombarding an isotopically enriched ¹⁰²Pd target and separated using the recoil mass separator MARA. An isomeric state having a half-life of 510(30) ns was discovered and is interpreted as a seniority 𝜐=3, (𝜋⁢ℎ²_11/2⊗𝜈⁢𝑓_7/2)⁢27/2− configuration. The 𝛾-ray transitions emitted in the deexcitation of the isomeric state to the ground state were identified and a level scheme was constructed, from which the excitation energy of the isomer was determined to be 2581.5(10) keV. A 𝐵⁡(𝐸⁢2) value of 0.45(3) W.u. was deduced for the 105.4 keV transition depopulating the isomeric state. The deduced level scheme and 𝐵⁡(𝐸⁢2) value are compared with systematics and shell-model calculations.
