Triaxiality in the mid-shell nucleus Pd112

Lifetimes of low-spin excited states in $^{112}\mathrm{Pd}$ were measured using the recoil-distance Doppler-shift technique. The nucleus of interest was populated in a $^{110}\mathrm{Pd}(^{18}\mathrm{O},^{16}\mathrm{O})^{112}\mathrm{Pd}$ reaction using the Cologne FN Tandem accelerator. Three lifetimes of ground-state band members and one lifetime of the $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ band were measured. From these lifetimes reduced transition probabilities were extracted and compared to interacting boson model, $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-soft calculations, and Davydov calculations. The lifetime of the ${2}_{\ensuremath{\gamma}}^{+}$ gives some insights on the nuclear shape and structure of the $\ensuremath{\gamma}$ band. The deduced transition rates show an indicator for a rigid triaxial nucleus as well as more indicators for a $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-soft nucleus.
