Highly deformed band in {sup 105}Ag

The isotope {sup 105}Ag has been studied using 169.5 MeV {sup 37}Cl ions impinging on {sup 76}Ge. The Nordball Ge array detected the {gamma} rays and a 4{pi} charged particle detector system detected emitted light charged particles. A very deformed band has been established using Doppler shift attenuation methods. The analysis is based on the {gamma}{gamma} coincidences and the angular dependence of the four rings of Ge detectors in Nordball. The deformation of the band is deduced to be {beta}{sub 2}=0.37{sub {minus}0.02}{sup +0.03}.
