| Abstract: | Excited states of 125Sb have been studied using in-beam γspectroscopy techniques via the 124Sn(7Li, α2n) reaction at a beam energy of 32 MeV. A high-spin level scheme including 21 new γ-transitions and 14 new excited states have been established. Three isomers have been identified at 1970, 2110 and 2471 keV and the ranges of their half-lives have been estimated from the delayed coincidence data. The level structure of 125Sb is discussed in terms of particle-core excitation coupling. With the help of empirical shell model calculations the three isomers are proposed to have three-quasiparticle πg7/2(*)V(h11/2s1/2)5-,πg7/2(*)V(h11/2d3/2)7-and πg7/2(*)V(h211/2)10+configurations, respectively. |
