Abstract
Neutron-deficient isotopes of bismuth and lead have been produced in various heavy-ion—induced reactions. Argon and krypton ions were used as projectiles on , , and . We observed emission from bismuth nuclides and isomers with and from lead isotopes with . We give results on mass assignments, -decay energies, half-lives, and branching ratios. Two new lead isotopes were found: , MeV, sec; and , MeV, sec. No -emitting isotopes of thallium were found, and upper limits significantly below 1% can be set on the branching ratios of T1 isotopes with .
