Abstract

Evidence is presented for five closely spaced states in

{}^{118}{Cd}

near

E_{ex ≃ 2}

MeV, which are interpreted as a near-harmonic three-phonon quintuplet. Candidates for even higher-lying multiphonon states are also found. The experimental spectrum is compared with an anharmonic vibrator [or U(5) spectrum] and an interacting-boson-approximation calculation incorporating a two-particle, four-hole intruder configuration.
