Abstract
Lifetimes have been measured for three M1 bands in light Sn/Cd nuclei using the DSAM technique. B(M1) values deduced from these measurements show a ra pid decrease with increasing spin for a given configuration. The results ha ve been compared with both Tilted axis cranking and semi-empirical model ca lculations. These suggest that the shears mechanism is present in this mass region, and that the band in Sn-106 appears to be the first example of alm ost pure magnetic rotation.
