Abstract:Intruder state excitation energies in odd-mass nuclei just outside a closed proton shell plotted versus neutron number generally exhibit parabola-shaped curves with minima near neutron mid-shells. The Bi isotopes, however, do not seem to follow this trend. Recent experiments performed at Argonne National Laboratory have identified the previously unobserved Is7Bi ground state (h9/2) to lS3Tl ground state si12 a transition. Its energy when combined with those of two earlier known transitions, namely Is7Bi (h9/2)… Show more
