Spectroscopy of 212Rn

Abstract

Excited states of 212Rn have been studied using γ-ray and electron spectroscopy following the reactions 208Pb(9Be, 5n) and 204Hg(13C, 5n). With the exception of the energy of the yrast 8+→ 6+ transition, the previously proposed level scheme has been verified. New transitions have been placed in the level scheme and new lifetime and g-factor results obtained. The level scheme and electromagnetic properties of selected isomeric states are compared with the results of shell model and semi-empirical shell-model calculations, including coupling to octupole vibrations.
