Low-lying yrast states in /sup 210/Rn and /sup 211/Rn and the competition between neutron-hole and proton excitations

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

The ..gamma..-decay and nuclear structure of low-lying yrast and near yrast levels in /sup 210/Rn and /sup 211/Rn have been investigated. The cascade from the yrast 6/sup +/ state in /sup 210/Rn branches to two close-lying 4/sup +/ states, deduced to be complete mixtures of the 4/sup +/ states arising from the proton configuration, and from the neutron-hole intruder configuration. The influence of this proton-neutron-hole interaction on the yrast cascades in /sup 211/Rn and /sup 206/Rn, /sup 208/Rn is discussed.
