Study of High-Spin States in 198Bi
- Received Date: 1995-09-26
Abstract: The high-spin states of 198Bi have been studied via the reaction 187Re(16O, 5n)198Bi at 16O energies from 85-105MeV. In-beam measurements of γ-ray excitation functions, γ-γ-t coincidences, and γ-ray angular distributions were carried out with 6 BGO(AC)HPGe detectors and 1 intrinsic Ge planar detector. A level scheme for 198Bi with 26 γ-rays was established for the first time, including a 15+ isomer with a measured half-life of 8.0±3.6ns. Based on the known level structure systematics in 200-206Bi, the level structure of 198Bi was qualitatively interpreted by using semi-empirical methods.
