Description

The neutron-deficient 190Po and 189Bi isotopes have been produced in the 2n respectively p2n channels of the 48Ti+144Sm reaction. Cross sections for different reaction channels are given. For 190Po, improved values of α-energy Eα=7550(15) keV and half-life T1/2=1.9+0.6-0.4 ms were measured. By using correlated α-decay chains an α-branching ratio of 0.50(25) was deduced for 186Pb. The reduced α-width systematic is extended for both of these isotopes, confirming a persistence of the saturation towards the lighter Po isotopes and the absence of any anomalies for the neutron-deficient Pb isotopes. For 189Bi improved values of Eα=7300(15) keV and T1/2=4.8(5) ms were measured. (orig.). With 2 figs
