179AU    183TL A DECAY (53.3 MS)       2004RA28,1987TO09,1980SC0909NDS    200902

179AU c  Other: 2006An11.
179AU c  2004Ra28:{+183}Tl from {+144}Sm({+42}Ca,p2n|g) at E=195 and 200 MeV
179AU2c  using 95% enriched {+144}Sm target; RITU gas separator; fusion
179AU3c  evaporation residues implanted in Si strip detector in focal plane; 3
179AU4c  NORDBALL- and 2 TESSA-type Ge detectors; measured E|a, I|a, E|g, I|g,
179AU5c  prompt |g-|a({+183}Tl) coin, |g|g coin. Supersedes 2002JeZY.
179AU c  T{-1/2}({+183}Tl)=53.3 ms {I3} from fit to time difference between
179AU2c  pairs of decay |a's and recoils, using an exponential fit to the decay
179AU3c  curve and assuming an exponential background (2004Ra28). Other:
179AU4c  60 ms {I15} from 1980Sc09.
179AU c  Parent J|p from evaluation in 2002Ba19.
179AU c  Parent E: from E|a=7612 {I5} to {+183}Tl(g.s.) and E|a=7000 {I5} to 53
179AU2c  ms {+183}Tl in {+187}Bi(9/2-) |a decay (2006An11).
179AU c  The Q(|a)=5940 {I17} given in 2003Au03 assumed that a 6449|a fed the
179AU2c  {+179}Au g.s. The |g data of 2004Ra28 are inconsistent
179AU3c  with this assumption. Based
179AU3c  on the adopted E|a=6338 {I6} from 625 {I7} level in {+183}Tl to
179AU4c  203.6+x level in {+179}Au, Q(|a)=6058+x 9, where x is the energy
179AU5c  difference, if any, between the {+179}Au g.s. and the 0+x level at
179AU6c  which the 52|g-89|g-62|g cascade observed by 2004Ra28 in |a decay
179AUxc  terminates.
179AU c  To identify the {+183}Tl |a decays, 2004Ra28 performed a correlation
179AU2c  with subsequent {+179}Au |a decays within a search time of 1 s; this
179AU3c  revealed the existence of a new E|a=5810 {I15} branch from {+179}Au.
179AU cA IA        From 1980Sc09. I|a data from 2004Ra28 (given in comments)
179AU2cA are in excellent agreement, but a little less precise.
179AU cA HF        Assuming r{-0}=1.513 {I9} (unweighted average of
179AU2cA r{-0}({+180}Hg)=1.505 {I13} and r{-0}({+178}Pt)=1.522 {I5} (1998Ak04))
179AUxcA and Q(|a)=6058 {I9}.
179AU cG E,RI      From 2004Ra28.
179AU cG M         The 52|g-62|g and 52|g-89|g coincidences are prompt and none
179AU2cG of the 52|g, 62|g and 89|g appears to be delayed with respect to |a's,
179AU3cG so 2004Ra28 conclude that the gammas have multipolarity no higher than
179AU4cG E1, M1 or E2.
179AU cL E         Based on measured E|g, except as noted. The energy
179AU2cL offset 'x' allows for the possibility that the level fed by the 62|g
179AU3cL might not be the g.s.
179AU cL J         From Adopted Levels. Authors' suggested values, based on
179AU2cL deduced transition multipolarities and an assumption that J values
179AU3cL decrease with decreasing level energy, are given in
179AU4cL comments on the relevant levels.

179AU3cN 7000|a({+187}Bi)-6380|a({+183}Tl) event) (1999Ba45). 2004Ra28 estimate
179AU4cN %|a|?2 based on total I|a compared with I|g for the delayed 347|g
179AU5cN feeding the 9/2- isomer of {+183}Tl.

179AU  L 61.8+X     3 (3/2-)
179AU cL E         an alternative value of 89.4+x is possible because order of
179AU2cL 62|g-89|g cascade has not been firmly established.
179AU cL J         2004Ra28 suggest (3/2-).

179AU cA E         weighted average of 6456 {I15} (2004Ra28), 6449 {I15}
179AUxcA (1980Sc09).
179AU cA           Other I|a: 4 {I2} (2004Ra28).
179AU  L 151.2+X    4 (7/2-)
179AU cL J         2004Ra28 suggest (7/2-). HF is consistent with a moderate
179AU2cL angular momentum change in |a decay without underlying structural
179AU3cL change; this suggests similar structure for the (7/2-) and (9/2-)
179AU4cL levels in {+179}Au.

179AU cG M         probably E2. Observed shape of summed |a spectrum when gated
179AU2cG by 52|g is consistent with ce(L)(89)-|a summing; E1 would give
179AU3cG negligible ce-|a summing, M1 would lead to different shape due to
179AU4cG dominance of ce(K) over ce(L). Also, M1 is ruled out by the observed
179AU5cG low I(K| x ray) (2004Ra28) and E1 by intensity balance at the 62+x
179AUxcG level.
179AU  L 203.6+X    4 (9/2-)
179AU cL J         2004Ra28 suggest (9/2-) based on unhindered |a decay from
179AU2cL (9/2-) parent.

179AU cA E         weighted average of 6333 {I10} (2004Ra28), 6340 {I15}
179AU2cA (1987To09), 6343 {I10} (1980Sc09). This E|a implies
179AU3cA Q(|a)({+183}Tl)=6058+x 9 (cf. 5940 {I17} in 2003Au03 where the 6453|a
179AUxcA is assumed to feed the {+179}Au g.s.).

179AU cG           52|g is in prompt coincidence with both the 89|g and the
179AU2cG 62|g. Placement is supported by 6384|a and 6333|a energy difference of
179AU3cG 51 {I19} (2004Ra28).
179AU cG M         |a(exp)=11.5 {I14} (based on I|a=83% {I4} and adopted |g
179AU2cG normalization) rules out E1 and E2. Observed ce(L)-|a summing in
179AU3cG spectrum gated by 89|g is consistent with M1 or E2 (2004Ra28).
