In-Beam Measurements of the Nuclear Quadrupole Interaction in Cadmium Metal

Abstract

A time-differential perturbed angular distribution experiment on the 247-keV level of ${}_{}{}^{111}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cd}$, excited by the ($d,p$) reaction in ${}_{}{}^{110}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Cd}$ metal, shows a static quadrupole interaction at high temperatures and pronounced effects of radiation damage at lower temperatures.
