General Comments:

Assignment: parent of 217Ra, 213Rn (1970To07 and 1970Va13); 208Pb(16O,3n) excit (1970To07 and 1970Va13); cross bombardments (1970Va13).

See 1989De11 for calculations of B(E1)/B(E2) values.

Levels: See 1988Le13 for theoretical interpretation of levels, and level energy calculations by coupling states of a deformed shell model to a reflection-asymmetric rotor core. The single-particle states were obtained from a Woods-Saxon potential, including octupole deformation (octupole deformation of 0.1) as well as quadrupole deformation.

Levels: See 1991Cw01 also for deformation,level energy calculations based on the fit to the suggested parity doublet ground band. α review of the reflection asymmetric shapes may be found in 1996Bu45.

Levels: Higher-order deformations up to β7 were included by 1989Cw03 in calculations of non-collective quasiparticle state energies for odd-A thorium isotopes in the transitional region. These higher-order equilibrium deformations lead to further fragmentation of single-particle orbitals. For K=1/2 bandhead (at g.s.), β2=0.101, β3=0.090, β4=0.065, β5=0.042, β6=0.020 and β7=0.027 were obtained. See 1989Cw03 for calculated deformations and energies for the K=3/2 and 5/2 bandheads.

Q-value: Note: Current evaluation has used the following Q record -3440 50 5802 24 4103 17 8626 4 2003Au03

E(level): 1988Da15 suggested that the 250.9-keV transition, the strongest γ seen in 208Pb(16O,3nγ) reaction, depopulates either a 250.9-keV or possibly a 250.9+x keV level; x was estimated to be less than 50 keV from the experimental limit for observations of low-energy transitions. Therefore, as pointed out by 1988Da15, all excited-state energies might be higher by an amount of E|<50 keV.

Jπ(level): Spins and parities of all excited states were deduced by 1988Da15 from multipolarities of deexciting γ transitions observed in 208Pb(16O,3nγ). If the 250.9γ feeds a low-lying level at E|<50 keV with a spin and parity different from 7/2+, then Jπ’s given here for all excited states would have to be changed by [Jπ(level populated by 250.9γ)-7/2+].
