Abstract

In-beam γ-ray transitions in 183Hg have been identified from fragment-γ and γ-γ coincidence measurements using the Argonne Fragment Mass Analyzer (FMA). The γ-ray transitions in 183Hg were placed into five bands. Two of these have been associated with the [624]92+ orbital and exhibit signature splitting, as expected for i132 excitations built on a prolate shape moderate deformation. Two other bands which do not show signature splitting have been associated with the [514]72 orbital and exhibit transition energies “identical” to the bands with the same configuration in 185Hg.

    The decay of the 7/2−[514] state at 99(14) − Δ keV (see Fig. 2) is an opened question. None of the previous prompt γ-decay studies [19–21] were able to establish its decay path and excitation energy. Furthermore, slightly different placements of the 3/2− and 5/2− excited states in the 1/2−[521] band were proposed in Refs. [19,20], (see the discussion in the evaluation [27]).
