Abstract
Excited states in Ag were populated in fragmentation of an 850-MeV/u Xe beam on a 4-g/cm Be target. Three new high-spin isomers were identified and the structure of the populated states was investigated. The level scheme of Ag was established, and a spin parity of (13), (15), and (19) was assigned to the new isomeric states. Shell-model calculations were performed in various model spaces, including and the large-scale shell-model space , to account for the observed parity changing and transitions from the (13) isomer and the and transitions from the (19) core-excited isomer, respectively. The calculated level schemes and reduced transition strengths are found to be in very good agreement with the experiment.
