Abstract

A comprehensive spectroscopic investigation of yrast levels in three N = 126 isotones, 212Rn, 213Fr and 214Ra, is presented. We report measurements of prompt and delayed excitation functions, γ-γ and X-γ coincidences, g-factors, linear polarizations and angular distributions of γ-rays. Yrast spectra in these nuclei extend to high spin and are rich in isomers. The isomerism and the spin dependence of yrast energies for N = 126 isotones are discussed in terms of excitations of valence protons with and without contributions from the 208Pb core.
