We report on new or more precise half-lives, β-decay endpoint energies, and β-delayed proton emission branching ratios of Pd91, Cd95, In97, and Sn99. The measured values are consistent with known mirror transitions in lighter Tz=−1/2 nuclei, shell-model calculations, and various mass models. In addition to the β-decaying (9/2+) ground state, circumstantial evidence for a short-lived, proton-emitting isomer with spin (1/2−) was found in In97. Based on the experimental data, a semiempirical theory on proton emission, and shell-model calculations, the proton separation energy of the In97 ground state was determined to be −0.10±0.19 MeV. The existence of the short-lived, proton-unstable (1/2−) isomer in In97 establishes Cd96 as an rp-process waiting point.< Réduire
