Abstract: Lifetime measurements of low-lying excited states in the semimagic ($N = 50$) nucleus $^{95}$Rh have been performed by means of the fast-timing technique. The experiment was carried out using $\gamma$-ray detector arrays consisting of LaBr$_3$(Ce) scintillators and germanium detectors integrated into the DESPEC experimental setup commissioned for the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research ({\sc fair}) Phase-0, Darmstadt, Germany. The excited states in $^{95}$Rh were populated primarily via the $\beta$ decays of $^{95}$Pd nuclei, produced in the projectile fragmentation of a 850 MeV/nucleon $^{124}$Xe beam impinging on a 4 g/cm$^2$ $^9$Be target. The deduced electromagnetic E2 transition strengths for the $\gamma$-ray cascade within the multiplet structure depopulating from the isomeric $I^\pi = 21/2^+$ state are found to exhibit strong deviations from predictions of standard shell model calculations which featureapproximately conserved seniority symmetry. In particular, the observation of a strongly suppressed E2 strength for the $13/2^+ \rightarrow 9/2^+$ ground state transition cannot be explained by calculations employing standard interactions.This remarkable result may require revision of the nucleon-nucleon interactions employed in state-of-the-art theoretical model calculations, and might also point to the need for including three-body forces in the Hamiltonian.
