Abstract
The high-spin structure of the nucleus Pd was studied through the Zr(C,5) reaction at incident energies of 51 and 58 MeV, using the Euroball IV -ray spectrometer in conjunction with the DIAMANT charged-particle array. Several new medium- and high-spin bands were revealed. The already known positive-parity yrast and the negative-parity cascades were extended up to , , and MeV with ), ), and (20), respectively. The deduced band structures were compared with Woods-Saxon total Routhian surface (TRS) calculations. In addition, non-yrast low-lying positive-parity bands were identified, which were assigned to soft -vibrational excitations.
