Abstract

Levels in

^{200, 202} Po

were studied via the

β^{+}

and electron-capture decay of mass-separated At isotopes. Multiscaled singles γ, x, and conversion-electron spectra as well as γ-γ-t,

γ - e^{-}

-t, and

{x - e}^{-}

-t coincidences were measured. These isotopes contain key information for the presence of π(4p-2h) intruder configurations in the light Po isotopes.
