abstract = {The spin and configurational structure of excited states of
127Cd, 125Cd and 129Cd, having two proton and three, five
and one neutron holes, respectively in the doubly magic
132Sn core have been studied. The isomeric states in Cd
isotopes were populated in the fragmentation of a 136Xe beam
at an energy of 750 MeV/u on a 9Be target of 4 g/cm2. The
experiment was performed at GSI Darmstadt. The neutron-rich
Cd isotopes were selected using the Bρ-∆E-Bρ method at
the FRagment Separator (FRS). Event by event identification
of fragments in terms of their A (mass) and Z (charge) was
provided by the standard FRS detectors. The reaction
residues were implanted in a plastic stopper surrounded by
15 Ge cluster detectors from the RISING array to detect the
gamma decays. In 127Cd, an isomeric state with a half-life
of 17.5(3) μs has been detected. This yrast (19/2)+ isomer
is proposed to have mixed proton-neutron configurations and
to decay by two competing stretched M2 and E3 transitions.
Experimental results are compared with the isotone 129Sn. In
125Cd, apart from the previously observed (19/2)+ isomer,
two new metastable states at 3896 keV and 2141 keV have been
detected. A half-life of 13.6(2) μs was measured for the
(19/2)+ isomer, having a decay structure similar to the
corresponding isomeric state in 127Cd. The higher lying
isomers have a half-life of 3.1(1) μs and 2.5(15) ns,
respectively. Time distributions of delayed gamma
transitions and gamma-gamma coincidence relations were
exploited to construct decay schemes for the two nuclei.
Comparison of the experimental data with shell-model
calculations is also discussed. The new information provides
input for the proton-neutron interaction in nuclei around
the doubly magic 132Sn core. The gamma decays of the
isomeric states in 129Cd were not observed experimentally.
The reasons for the non-observation of delayed gamma rays
for 129Cd are either an isomeric half-life of less than 93
ns based on the experimentally obtained isomeric ratios of
the (19/2)+ in 127,125Cd, or an E3 spin trap emerging from
shell-model calculations.},
