General Comments:

Identification: Observation of recoil-α-α correlations with 187Bi in the reaction 141Pr(54Fe,4n)191At (2002LeZZ).

Observation of α decay in fusion-evaporation measurements using the 141Pr(54Fe,4n) reaction at E=248-266 MeV, at mid-target. Gas-filled recoil fragment separator RITU. Recoil and α detection by position-sensitive Si strip detector (2003Ke08,2005Ke10).

Other references: 2005Ke10, 2005Uu03.

Levels: Levels proposed on the basis of recoil-tagged α-α coincidences, measured E(α), and considering α-decay links to levels in the daughter nuclide 187Bi. No γ-rays from 187Bi were observed due to poor statistics (2003Ke08).

Proposed as the 191At g.s. in 2003Ke08, 2005Ke10. This state decays by Eα=7552 keV 11, ≈100% α branching, HF=0.4 3, to the ≈112 keV (1/2+) level in 187Bi (2003Ke08). This is similar to the case of the neighboring 193At ground state. α reduced α decay width of δ2=150 keV 100 is quoted in 2003Ke08 (see also 2005Uu03) for this transition.

This level decays by Eα=7653 keV 13, Iα=98% 2, HF=1.1 3, to the ≈63 keV (7/2-) level in 187Bi, and Eα=7715 keV 15, Iα=2% 2, HF=50 50 to the (9/2-) 187Bi ground state (2003Ke08). α reduced α decay width of δ2=59 13 and 1.3 13 keV is reported in 2003Ke08 for the 7653 and 7715 keV α transitions, respectively (also in 2005Uu03 for the former transition).
