An experiment identifying gamma-ray transitions in {sup 183}Hg using {gamma}-{gamma} and recoil-{gamma} coincidences has been performed at the FMA and published. Five bands were observed, of which two are associated with the [624]9/2{sup +} orbital and exhibit signature splitting. Two other bands which do not show signature splitting have been associated with the [514]7/2{sup -} orbital and exhibit transition energies almost identical to bands with the same configuration in {sup 185}Hg. New experiments on identification of bands in {sup 181}Hg and an in-beam study of conversion electrons from {sup 183}Hg have been performed in 1994. Three bands were identified for the first time in {sup 181}Hg. A mini-orange electron spectrometer was used in a test run where background were investigated. One member of the collaboration, K. Bindra, who is a Ph.D. student, and a new student, L. Brown, have been working full-time under the direction of Cary Davids. K. Bindra has now graduated.
