Description

Shape coexistence in the neutron-deficient lead region around N104 has been discovered in different nuclei especially in the mercury isotopes, where a staggering effect was found between even- and odd-mass nuclei using charge radii measurements [1,2]. In addition the study of the even-even 182,184,186,188Hg isotopes via Coulomb excitation reactions showed a mixing of weakly deformed oblate and more deformed prolate configurations which coexists at low excitation energies [3].
To investigate collective behavior of low-lying states on top of the (1/2) ground-state in 185gHg and the different deformed (13/2+) isomeric state in 185mHg, a Coulomb excitation experiment was performed at HIE-ISOLDE. The 185g,mHg beams were accelerated onto 120Sn and 48Ti targets with an energy of 4 MeV/u.
The emitted γ rays were detected utilizing the Miniball array in coincident to the scattered particles measured in the DSSSD detector. Furthermore the SPEDE spectrometer was used to determine distributions from conversion electrons.
Preliminary results of excited states of 185g,mHg will be shown for both targets. Excited states in 185gHg up to a spin of 29/2 were observed using the 120Sn target.
