Abstract

γ rays following the EC/β+ and α decay of the N = 126, Fr213 nucleus have been observed at the CERN isotope separator on-line (ISOLDE) facility with the help of γ-ray and conversion-electron spectroscopy. These γ rays establish several hitherto unknown excited states in Rn213. Also, five new α-decay branches from the Fr213 ground state have been discovered. Shell model calculations have been performed to understand the newly observed states in Rn213.
