Abstract

The half-lives of the 469-keV level in99Nb and the 236-keV state in99Mo have been determined to (0.21±0.06) ns and (0.87±0.15) ns, respectively, fromβ,γ-delayed coincidences. Values ofB(E2)=(89±28)e 2 fm4 andB(M1)=(0.017±0.003) μ 2 n are deduced for the 469-keV transition in99Nb and the 138-keV transition in99Mo. The result for theE2-transition probability seems to be in accordance with the particle-core coupling interpretation of the low-lying levels in98Nb if98Zr is used as the core. TheM1 probability for99Mo agrees with the systematics for “l-forbidden” 1g7/2→2d 5/2 neutron transitions.
