Abstract.

Neutron-deficient α-decaying nuclei have been produced using fusion-evaporation reactions. A gas-filled recoil separator was used to separate the fusion products from the scattered beam. The activities were implanted in a position sensitive silicon detector. The isotopes were identified using spatial and time correlations between implants and decays. During ten years of operation time about twenty new α-decaying isotopes have been identified in the translead region. In addition numerous α-decay studies have been performed on already known isotopes yielding much improved precision for the measured decay properties. An overview of the α-decay studies performed for the translead nuclei employing the gas-filled recoil separator will be given.
