Abstract

The nucleus 108Sn has been populated via the 54Fe(58Ni, 4p) reaction channel at a beam energy of 243 MeV. The high-spin structure is dominated by three ΔI = 2 rotational sequences. These bands can be interpreted in terms of particle-hole excitations involving the proton g 7 2, g 9 2 and h 11 2 orbitals and also aligned neutrons from the bottom of the h 11 2 shell. Lifet 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 fse·b for one of the proposed negative-parity bands. These values yield quadrupole deformations of β2 = 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.
