Behavior of the Excited Deformed Band and Search for Shape Isomerism in 184Hg
Abstract
The new isotope 184Tl has been identified with T12=11+/-1 sec and the levels in 184Hg investigated from its decay. The 0+ band head of a deformed band was found to drop to 375 keV in agreement with theoretical predictions. The mean life of the 375-keV 0+ level was measured to be 0.9 +/- 0.3 nsec which is a factor of 10 faster than theoretically predicted for a shape-isomeric E2 transition.
