Abstract

Short-lived isomers in fission fragments following bombardment of 45-MeV Li6 on Th232 were examined. Isomers in the A~95,122, and 132 mass regions were observed. New isomeric decays were observed in In121 [T1/2=17(2) μs], In123 (T1/2 100 mu;s), and Sb125 [T1/2=25(4) μs]. These isomers are suggested to arise from ν(h11/2 d3/2)7- and ν(h11/2 s1/2)5- neutron core excitations coupling with the valence proton.
