Absolute electromagnetic transition probabilities in {sup 196}Po have been measured using the recoil distance Doppler-shift technique. The lifetimes of the three lowest yrast states in {sup 196}Po were extracted from singles {gamma}-ray spectra by using the recoil-decay tagging method. In addition, configuration mixing calculations of angular momentum projected mean-field states have been carried out for {sup 196}Po. The present study sheds light on the onset of collectivity and mixing of competing structures in neutron-deficient Po nuclei.
