The α -decay properties of 186Bi

Abstract

The α decay of 186Bi was investigated via the 97Mo(92Mo, p2n) reaction and the use of a fragment mass analyzer with a double-sided Si strip detector. In contrast to an earlier work wherein only one α transition was reported, we observed two transitions arising from two isomers in 186Bi with energies and half-lives of: 7158(20) keV, T1/2 = 15.0(17) ms; and 7261(20) keV, T1/2 = 9.8(13) ms.
