The J(pi) = 2(+) one-phonon and 1(+), 3(+) two-phonon mixed-symmetry states were observed in the near-spherical nucleus Mo-94 by means of gamma-ray spectroscopy using electromagnetic, weak and strong population mechanisms in photon scattering, beta-decay and light-ion fusion evaporation reactions, respectively. We measured level energies, spin and parity quantum numbers, branching ratios, multipole mixing ratios and lifetimes for some low-spin states above the yrast line. The extracted B(M1) and B(E2) values enabled us to identify mixed-symmetry states. A shell model calculation using the Surface Delta Interaction accounts well for the low-spin level scheme of Mo-94 and for the measured transition strengths. The shell model supports the mixed-symmetry interpretation of the interacting boson model for the observed multiphonon structure. [References: 21]
