Abstract

The beta-delayed gamma decay of Nb-108 has been studied using the on-line mass-separator technique. The measured beta-decay half-life 0.20+/-0.03 s agrees with the previous measurement based on beta-delayed neutron detection. The lifetime of the first 2(+) stale in Mo-108 was measured to be 0.5+/-0.3 ns, which is consistent with a deformation beta approximate to 0.4. Spin and parity of 2(+) are suggested for the ground state of Nb-108.
