High spin states in neutron deficient /sup 102/Cd

Up to now, a very little information has been available on Cadmium isotopes with A<103, and only the half-life on the ground state of /sup 102/Cd was known. Recently, the new isotope /sup 102/In (T/sub 1 /2/=24+or-4 s) which feeds the first levels of /sup 102/Cd by beta - decay has been identified using an on-line mass isotopic separator. This work has been carried out by the Lyon-Grenoble collaboration (Beraud et al., 1981). This study has allowed the authors to extract the high spin level structure of /sup 102/Cd, from the in-beam experiments, observed in the /sup 92/Mo(/sup 12/C, 2n) reaction. (1 refs).
