Abstract
Large-scale shell-model calculations for the even-even Cadmium isotopes 98 Cd - 108 Cd have been performed with the ANTOINE code in the π(2p 1/2 ; 1g 9/2 ) ν(2d 5/2 ; 3s 1/2 ; 2d 3/2 ; 1g 7/2 ; 1h 11/2 ) model space without further truncation. Known experimental energy levels and B(E2) values could be well reproduced. Taking these calculations as a starting ground we analyze the deformation parameters predicted for the Cd isotopes as a function of neutron number N and spin J using the methods of model independent invariants introduced by K. Kumar and D. Cline.
