Abstract
Gamma-ray transitions have been observed in the proton-emitting N=Z+2 (T z=1) isotope 112Cs. The transitions have been unambiguously assigned to 112Cs by correlation with the characteristic proton decay, using the method of recoil-decay tagging with mass selection. The measured proton-decay energy and half-life are E p=810(5) keV and T 1/2=470(50) μs, respectively, which are consistent with previous measurements. Five γ-ray transitions have been observed which appear to form a rotational sequence. The energy differences between excited states in the sequence are consistent with an assignment as the favored signature of the ν(h 11/2) π(h 11/2) structure. Tentative evidence for fine structure in the 112Cs proton decay is also observed.
