Description

The radioactive decay of mass-separated 3.0 m 195gBi to 195Pb has been studied with the UNISOR and LISOL facilities. Time-sequenced spectra of γ-rays, X-rays, and conversion electrons have been obtained, together with γγt, γXt, eγt, and eXt coincidence data. From this information, a decay scheme has been constructed consisting of 23 excited states and 34 transitions in 195Pb. Transitions with E0 multipole admixtures, indicative of shape coexistence, have been found to de-excite positive-parity levels at 1093, 1329, and 1380 keV. The beta-decay energy of the 195Bi ground state is deduced to be QEC=4800+600-550 keV based on the measurement of γ-ray-gated K/β+ ratios. The excitation energy of the i13/2 isomer in 195Pb has been determined to be 203±4 keV from the α-decays of 199m,gPo. (orig.)
