Description
The neutron rich isotopes near the $Z=82$ and $N=126$ are an area of active research as they display a range of exotic nuclear properties including octupole deformation.
Previously the long lived (>10 minutes) neutron rich isotopes $^{219,220}$Po have not been properly investigated as their expected half-lives are too long for fragmentation facilities and until the development of the PI-LIST the present of isobaric Fr contamination it was not possible to study them at ISOLDE.
In 2022 with the use of the double-repeller PI-LIST it was possible to perform both decay spectroscopy and In-source laser spectroscopy. This contribution will discuss the analysis of the decay spectroscopy data and present preliminary results.
