Levels inOs186as Populated from Decay of 15.8-hIr186

Abstract
The level scheme of Os186 as populated by the decay of 15.8-h Ir186 has been studied using Ge(Li) detectors in singles and coincidence spectrometers. The coincidence data confirm essentially all of the previously known intraband and interband transitions assigned to the ground-state band (to the 6+ level), the γ band (to the 7+ level), and to the I=4,5,and 6 members of a two-phonon K=4 band. Coincidence data also establish levels in keV at 1194.45, (4+); 1461.09, 4+; 1480.3, 4+; 1628.3, 5; 1775.8, 6+; 1812.5, 5+; 1875.40, 4+; 2056.38, (5+, 6+); 2081.21, 4+; 2377.3, (5+, 6+); and 2771.7, 4+. The Iπ assignments are based on multipolarities determined from internal-conversion coefficients. Additional levels based on energy sums are tentatively proposed at 1582.3, 2661.2, 3041.3, 3151.7, 3268.8, and 3413.6 keV. The 15.8-h 1186Ir state is believed to have Iπ=5+ and an argument is presented based on the β-decay pattern that K=1.
