High-spin level spectra of the nucleiPb195,Pb197,Pb199, andPb201

Abstract
The level structures of the light lead nuclei Pb195, Pb197, Pb199, and Pb201 have been studied by in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy in bombardments of isotopically enriched HgO targets with He3 and He4 ions. The measurements included γ-ray singles, comprehensive (γγt) coincidences, half-life determinations, and γ-ray angular distributions. High-spin level spectra above previously known 13/2+ isomers are reported for the four nuclei, and are interpreted in terms of the weak coupling of an i132 neutron hole to established states of the adjacent even-A core nuclei.
