Abstract

Excited states in 92Mo are populated via the 89Y(6Li, 3n) 92Mo reaction at the tandem of XTU, INFN-LNL.The level scheme of 92Mo is revised and expanded considerably by the - coincidence measurement. Thenewly observed level structures are compared with different shell-model calculations performed in various modelspaces. The results show that the several high-energy (2 MeV) transitions, observed for the first time in thecurrent work, could be a presumable signature of N = 50 core-breaking effect. The measured strengths of E1transitions between the low-lying positive and negative bands indicate an important contribution from Z = 28proton core-excitation
