Abstract.
Alpha-decay of the new nuclide 184Bi has been studied in the complete-fusion reaction 93Nb(94Mo, 3n)184Bi at the velocity filter SHIP. The evaporation residues were separated in-flight and subsequently identified on the basis of recoil-\(\alpha\), recoil-\(\alpha\)-\(\gamma\) analysis and excitation functions measurements. Two \(\alpha\)-decaying isomeric states in 184Bi with half-life values of 13(2) ms and 6.6(1.5) ms were identified. The \(\alpha\)-branching ratio of 180Tl was deduced for the first time as \(b_\alpha = (2 --12)\%\). Improved data on the fine-structure \(\alpha\)-decay of 186Bi were obtained in the 93Nb(95Mo, 2n)186Bi reaction. A similarity of the decay energies and half-life values of 184,186Bi is pointed out and a possible explanation for this effect is suggested.
