Abstract

A recoil-shadow measurement of isomer decays in Hf172 has revealed many weak γ-ray transitions. One of these is a sevenfold K-forbidden E1 transition from the Kπ=8- isomer (T1/2=163 ns) to the Kπ=0+ ground-state band. The low hindrance factor for this transition in Hf172 is compared with the hindrance factors for other ΔK=8 E1 transitions.
