Linear polarization measurements on gamma rays fromPb104andPd106

The linear polarizations of $\gamma$ rays from the deexcitation of ${}_{}{}^{104}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pd}$ and ${}_{}{}^{106}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pd}$ following (heavy ion, $xn$) reactions were measured using a Compton polarimeter. Multipolarities for these $\gamma$ rays are tabulated and level schemes are given. Polarization measurements clearly show negative parity for two major quasirotational sidebands in both ${}_{}{}^{104}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pd}$ and ${}_{}{}^{106}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Pd}$.
