Abstract

Isomers in the neutron-rich nucleus W190 have been characterized. A 10 ^- state from the 9/2^-[505] 11/2⁺[615] two-neutron configuration with a 240-μs lifetime decays via a K-allowed, 97-keV, M2 transition to an 8⁺ state with a 160-ns lifetime from the 9/2^-[505] 7/2^-[503] neutron configuration. New states have also been identified in W188, including a Kπ=8^-, 158-ns isomer from the 9/2^-[614] 7/2⁺[404] two-proton configuration. The K hindrance is observed to decrease with increasing neutron number, consistent with a trend toward increasing triaxial softness.
