Abstract

Gamma-ray spectroscopy of high-spin states of the neutron-deficient nucleus ¹⁸⁹Pb has been conducted with the ¹⁵⁸Gd( ³⁶Ar,5n) and ¹⁶⁴Er(²⁹Si,4n) reactions. With the first of these, detection of evaporation residues and mass gating were used to unambiguously assign a number of prompt γ ray transitions to ¹⁸⁹Pb. With the second reaction and a pulsed beams, an isomer with a mean life of 32 μsec was found and the decay scheme below it established. Although inconclusive, the available evidence favours identification of the isomer with the 332⁺ state of the v(i_13/2)^-3 configuration. The levels observed below the isomer can be identified with states involving three different structures: the neutron (i_13/2) ^-3 multiplet in the spherical well; a prolate-deformed band involving mixed i_13/2 neutron orbitals; and a state with the oblate π(2p-2h)₀₊ ⊗ v(i_13/2)^-1 configuration.
