High-Spin States in204Bi and the Question of Many-Nucleon Configuration Mixing

The properties of high-spin levels in 204Bi have been studied using conventional in-beam γ-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy on the products of the reactions 205Tl(α, 5n) 204Bi and 203Tl(α, 3n) 204Bi. The yrast cascade is followed to a 19+ level at 3808 keV and several non-yrast levels in the spin interval J = 9-16 are reported. The energies of the levels in 204Bi were calculated within the shell-model frame of multi-nucleon states, and the agreement is found to be good. A previously reported T1/2 = 1 ms isomeric state is shown to have a main configuration πh9/2ν(j-2)0+(i13/2-2)12+f5/2-1 and a spin-parity 17+. The configuration mixing for the neutron-hole components of the wave funct…

In-beam study of high-spin states in199,200,201Po and systematical features of Z=84 polonium isotopes

Excited states in199,200,201Po were populated in the reactions12C+194Pt and12C+195Pt. The subsequentγ-radiation was studied using conventional in-beam spectroscopic methods. States with spins up to (29/2), 18 and ≧35/2ħ, respectively, were populated in the three nuclides. Three isomeric states with the following half-lives were observed in200Po:T1/2(8+)=90(15) ns,T1/2(11−)=120(20) ns andT1/2(12+)=267(4) ns. The structure of the excited states was interpreted within the framework of the spherical shell model. The three isomers are suggested to be two-quasiparticle states with configurationsπ(h22)8J, π(h9i13/2)11- and v(i1 3/2−2)12+. A self-consistent Hartree-Fock calculation was performed to…
