105 Cd was produced in the 96 Mo+ 12 C fusion/evaporation reaction, performed at NIPNE, Bucharest-Magurele, Romania. Various excited states of positive- and negative-parities were populated. Picosecond half-lives were measured by using the Differential Decay Curve Method (DDCM) method, allowing to control the side feeding of the states of interest. New data were obtained for the half-lives of the 11/2 + , 15/2 − and 19/2 − 105 Cd states. Reduced electric quadrupole transition strengths were calculated and compared to the neighboring odd- A and even- A cadmium nuclei. The particle-core weak coupling approach was used to interpret excited states of 105 Cd in the light of the new data.
