Abstract

Excited states in ²⁰⁸Fr have been identified using the ¹⁹⁷Au(¹⁶O, 5n)²⁰⁸Fr reaction and a variety of time-correlated γ -ray and conversion electron spectroscopic techniques. Transitions above and below a τ = 623(16) ns 10^- isomer are placed in the level scheme. This isomer is analogous to that observed in the odd-odd isotone ²⁰⁶At for which additional spectroscopic information is also obtained, including a precise lifetime of τ = 1173(30) ns. The γ -rays assigned to ²⁰⁸Fr are the same as the main transitions erroneously assigned to ²⁰⁹Fr in previous work.
