Abstract

The level structures of 211Fr, 212Fr and 213Fr have been observed to high spins, ~ 28 /kh, (and excitation energies ~ 8 MeV) using a variety of γ-ray spectroscopic techniques. The structure of these nuclides is discussed in terms of couplings of single-particle states through empirical shell-model calculations. Good agreement with experiment is obtained. In 212Fr and 213Fr core-excited configurations are required to explain the properties of the highest states. A number of long-lived states were observed in each nucleus some of which decay by enhanced E3 transitions. The E3 transition strengths are discussed.
