Abstract

The nucleus 108Sn has been populated via the Fe-54(Ni-58, 4p) reaction channel at a beam energy of 243 MeV. The high-spin structure is dominated by three DELTAI = 2 rotational sequences. These bands can be interpreted in terms of particle-hole excitations involving the proton g7/2, g9/2 and h11/2 orbitals and also aligned neutrons from the bottom of the h11/2 shell. Lifetime measurements have also been performed using the Doppler-shift attenuation method. These data have enabled quadrupole moments to be deduced for the two strongest bands. The results yield Q0 = 2.6 +/- 0.4 e . b for the positive-parity band and 3.4 +/- 0.6 e . b for one of the proposed negative-parity bands. These values yield quadrupole deformations of beta2 = 0.20 and 0.26, respectively, for the two bands. The results obtained are discussed in terms of Woods-Saxon and total routhian surface calculations.
