Lifetimes and structures of low-lying negative-parity states of ²⁰⁹Po

RADIOACTIVITY ²⁰⁹At(EC), (β⁺)[from successive α and ϵ decay of ²¹³Fr, produced in ²⁰⁶Pb(¹¹B, 4n)²¹³Fr, E=56 MeV at the FN-Tandem facility of University of Cologne]; measured Eγ, Iγ, γγ-coin, level half-lives by γγ(t) fast-timing method and analyzed by generalized centroid difference (GCD) method using eight HPGe detectors and 12 LaBr scintillators, with six of these placed inside BGO anti-Compton shields. ²⁰⁹Po; deduced levels, J, π, B(M1), B(E2). Comparison with shell-model calculation using a microscopic effective interaction derived from the realistic CD-Bonn potential.

NUCLEAR STRUCTURE ²⁰⁹Po; calculated proton single-particle and neutron single-hole energies, levels, J, π, B(M1), B(E2), magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, orbital composition and one-neutron pick-up spectroscopic factors of selected states, E2 matrix elements. Shell-model calculations with a realistic effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential within the framework of Q-box folded-diagram approach. Comparison with experimental data.
