Title: Experimental study of isomeric intruder 1 2 + states in At 197 , 203

Abstract

A newly observed isomeric intruder ½+ state [T½=3.5(6)ms] is identified in 203At using a gas-filled recoil separator and fusion-evaporation reactions. The isomer is depopulated through a cascade of E3 and mixed M1/E2 transitions to the 9/2 ground state, and it is suggested to originate from the π(s½)–1 configuration. In addition, the structures above the ½+ state in 203At and 197At are studied using in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy, recoil-decay tagging, and recoil-isomer decay tagging methods. As a result, the ½+ state is fed from 3/2+ and 5/2+ states, and the origin of these states are discussed.
