Abstract
The decay properties of states in 257 Rf have been investigated with the detector array GABRIELA at the FLNR, Dubna. The electromagnetic decay of a new excited state in 253 No has been observed. The state lies 750 keV above the ground state and is favourably populated in the alpha decay from a low-lying isomeric state in 257 Rf. It decays to the 9/2 - ground state by an M1 transition and is assigned the 11/2 - [725] Nilsson configuration. The presence of this state suggests a possible reinterpretation of the decay of the high-K isomer in 253 No. Due to the favoured nature of the α -decay the 11/2 - [725] Nilsson configuration is also assigned to the first excited state of 257 Rf, lying at 74 keV.
