Fast beta transition inPt183and the systematics of Nilsson states in theN=105isotones

Abstract
A β-decaying state in Pt183 with a half-life of 43±5 seconds is observed for the first time and is identified as ν 72 514 ↓ based on a logft of 4.3 deduced from the mass tables of Wapstra and Bos. It decays to the π 92 514 ↑ state in Ir183 at 645 keV, which deexcites to the 52, 72, and 92 members of the 12 541 ↓ band at 0, 329, and 16 keV, respectively. This is strong evidence for the applicability of the Nilsson model to the light Pt isotopes.
