Title: New Spectroscopy of Heavy Neutron Rich Nuclei: Isomeric Studies Following Relativistic Fragmentation

Conference ·
OSTI ID:784369

Gamma spectroscopy methods have been used to search for microsecond isomers among fragmentation products of 1 GeV/nucleon {sup 208}Pb beam. Decays of several known K-isomers in the rare earth region of A {approx} 180 were observed, including the K = 35/2 isomer in {sup 179}W. Several new isomeric decays in the very neutron rich systems, such as {sup 190}W, have been identified. In addition, in the course of this work, a number of neutron rich rare earth isotopes have also been synthesized and identified for the first time.
