Abstract
Excited states of \(^{109}\hbox {Ag}\) have been investigated by in-beam \(\gamma \)-ray spectroscopic techniques using the \(^{110}\hbox {Pd}\)(\(^{7}\hbox {Li}\), \(\alpha 4\hbox {n}\))\(^{109}\hbox {Ag}\) reaction at a beam energy of 46 MeV. The level scheme of \(^{109}\hbox {Ag}\) is significantly extended with the addition of more than 20 new \(\gamma \) transitions. For the positive-parity yrast band, it is extended to \(41/2^{+}\) state and \(2\hbar \) higher than the earlier work. A negative-parity band decaying to the yrast band by eleven new linking transitions is identified, and several E2 crossover transitions of this band are observed, thereby confirming the spin-parity assignment and the ordering of dipole transitions above the \(I^{\pi } = 17/2^{-}\) level. Experimental total angular momenta, kinematical and dynamical moments of inertia, and B(M1)/B(E2) ratio for the negative-parity band are compared with the predictions of self-consistent titled axis cranking relativistic mean-field model. Based on the theoretical description and the observed characteristics, the negative-parity dipole band is suggested as a magnetic rotational band arising from shears mechanism.
