Coulomb excitation of isobaric In contamination - level scheme of 126 In needs revision A. Scherillo et al., PRC 70, 054318 (2004) - new SM calculations agree with finding (G.

Ilieva et al., PRC 89, 014313 (2014) experimental B(E2) value for 128 Cd robust (different conditions in analysis) general trend for even Cd isotopes continued - larger B(E2)’s than SM prediction - B(E2)’s well reproduced by BMF - very limited sensitivity to Q 2 

Huck et al., PRC 40, 1384 (1989)... revised level scheme (... mainly single-step excitations!!!) -  -ray yield following Coulomb excitation -  coincidences... very few - variation of 123 Cd/ 123m Cd content in beam (RILIS, only broad band laser available for this run)

12. 1-6 June 2014 | ARIS 2014 - Tokyo | Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt | Thorsten Kröll | 12 Summary and Outlook Safe Coulomb excitation of even neutron-rich isotopes 122,124,126,128 Cd... B(E2) values are larger than predictions from large scale SM calculations... better agreement with BMF... axially symmetric shapes... no clear conclusion from Q 2 (2 + ) values... small deformation preferred First successful run with odd isotope 123 Cd... level scheme needs revision... new decay experiment desirable... both positive and negative parity orbitals seem to contribute similarly to collectivity Continuation of programme at HIE-ISOLDE... multiple Coulomb excitation... lifetime measurements with plunger... 130 Cd (... worth a try at HIE-ISOLDE?)... narrow band laser to ionise selectively g.s. or 11/2 - isomer in odd isotopes... transfer reactions to pin down single-particle properties and thank you for your attention!!!!
