Title: Alpha decay of neutron deficient polonium and bismuth isotopes

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. C; (United States)

Neutron deficient isotopes of polonium and bismuth have been produced in the reactions /sup 56/Fe+/sup n/atCe and /sup 56/Fe+/sup 141/Pr, separated from the primary beam by our gas-filled on-line mass separator. The half-lives have been determined by measuring the lifetimes of individual nuclei. The new isotope /sup 192/Po(T/sub 1/2/ = 34 +- 3 ms, E/sub ..cap alpha../ = 7.17 MeV) and a short-lived isomeric state in /sup 191/Bi (T/sub 1/2/ = 150 +- 15 ms, E/sub ..cap alpha../ = 6.86 MeV) have been identified.
