Description

The neutron-rich lead region is of exceptional interest to trace the evolution of single-particle levels and the residual proton-neutron interaction beyond the doubly magic 208Pb. While 208Pb is well understood in terms of the shell model, experimental data on the heavier isotopes are very scarce[1,2]. Another crucial aspect that calls for further experimental information is the evaluation of beta-decay half lives for neutron-rich nuclei with A>215. These half lives are particularly needed for r-process calculations as an essential test to validate the nuclear and beta-decay models away from stability[3]. In this talk results from a recent RISING experiment aiming at studying neutron-rich lead isotopes with A>210 will be reported. The experiment employed the active stopper configuration of the RISING array in order to study both isomeric gamma decay of long-lived states and the beta decay of heavy lead and bismuth isotopes. The nuclei of interest were populated by relativistic fragmentation of 238U at 1GeV/u on a Be target. The ions of interest where transported in the GSI FRS separator [4] and implanted in an active catcher consisting of 9 Silicon DSSSD. The gamma decay after implantation was measured by the 15 Cluster HPGe detectors of the RISING array [5,6]. New isomers have been identified in the populated Pb, Bi and Tl isotopes, and their lifetime and isomeric ratios are being evaluated. Comparison with shell model calculations will be presented. [1]M.
