Abstract

Low-energy excited states of ${}^{208}{Ra}$ were investigated using the ${}^{182}W$ ( ${}^{30}{Si}$ , 4n) reaction at the Wright Nuclear Structure Laboratory of Yale University. Fusion evaporation recoils were selected using the gas-filled spectrometer SASSYER. Delayed $γ$ rays, following isomeric decays, were detected at the focal plane of SASSYER with a small array of three clover Ge detectors. Transitions following a proposed $J^{π} = 8^{+}$ isomer were observed, and the half-life was measured.
