General Comments:

For calculations of level energies by various methods, some including deformations of order higher than β(2), and for discussions on level structure see 2006Sa53, 2005Za02, 2003Sh02, 2001Za04 2001Za09, 1998Bu18, 1998Ra05, 1997Bu07, 1997Bu28, 1995De13, 1987En05, 1986Da03, 1985Na07, 1983Pi04, 1983Ia01, 1980Sh07, 1970Ne08

For theoretical calculations of equilibrium deformations and deformation energies see 1994Cw01, 1991Sk01, 1988So08, 1986Bo19, 1986Le05, 1984Na22, 1983Ro14, 1982Le19, 1982Du16 and 1981Gy03.

Exotic nuclear shapes, including superdeformation, hyperdeformation and octupole shapes, were calculated and discussed by 1994Cw01, 1992Ch20, 1992SkZZ, 1989De11, 1989Eg02, 1988Ba48, 1988Ro05, 1988So08, 1987Na10, 1987Ro08, 1986Bo19, 1986Ch23, 1984Na22.

For calculations of electric-dipole moment, and for discussions on the strong octupole effects and octupole deformation, as well as higher order of deformations, see 2004Ad15, 2003Ad32, 1991Eg01, 1991Bu10, 1989De11, 1986Le05

See 1988Ro02 for the E1, E3 transition probabilities and the 0+, 1- energy splitting.

See 1986Le05, 1993Yo02 for calculations of B(E1)/B(E2) transition probabilities from the Kπ=0- band.

For calculations of 14C emission probability, partial half-lives and branchings by using various models, see 1984Po08, 1985Po11, 1985Sh01, 1986De32, 1986Gr20, 1986Ir01, 1986Ka46, 1986La01, 1986Pi11, 1986Po15, 1986Ru11, 1987Bl04, 1987Gu04, 1987Iv01, 1987Po08, 1987Sh04, 1988Ba01, 1988Bl11, 1988Iv02, 1988Sh29, 1988Ta25, 1989Bu06, 1989Ci03, 1989Ma21, 1989Sh37, 1990Ba20, 1990Bu09, 1990Hu07, 1990Ka15, 1990Sh01, 1991Bu01, 1992Gu10, 1993Bu05, 1993De38, 1993Go18, 1993Gr15, 1993Gu11, 1993Ka21, 1993Si26, 1994Bu07, 1994De38, 1995Si05, 1998Ro11, 2002Sa55, 2004Re22, 2004Ba64, 2005Ku32, 2006Xu15, 2009Qi07, 2009Ro16, 2010Ni13, 2008Ni12

Levels: The Kπ=0+ g.s. band and the Kπ=0- band at 242.11 keV have been interpreted as octupole parity-doublet bands. This nucleus falls slightly to the left of middle of the region of octupole deformation defined by the spin systematics for octupole shapes (1990Ja11).

E(γ): From 232Th(136Xe,Xγ) dataset. Those not observed in this dataset are taken from decay datasets.

E(γ): From 226Th α decay and 222Fr β- decay. The uncertainties of γ’s deexciting the levels above 1 MeV have been increased because of a poor energy fit to the level scheme; therefore, the Eγ values have been rounded off here. See 222Fr β- decay section for the experimental values listed by the authors.

I(γ): Relative photon intensity deexciting each level.

M(γ): From GAMMASPHERE data (1999Co02). Multipolarities inside the square brackets are from the ce work in 226Tl α decay.
