“…8, can help to shed light on the structure of these parent ground states. The N = 131, odd-A isotones 215 84 Po, 217 86 Rn, 219 88 Ra, 221 90 Th, and 223 92 U have all been shown to decay by αparticle emission from their ground states [33,35,43,44]. The ground states of the five daughter nuclei, 211 82 Pb, 213 84 Po, 215 86 Rn, 217 88 Ra, and 219 90 Th, have all been assigned to have J π = 9/2 + , ν(g 9/2 ) 3 spherical shell configurations [13,33,36,39,42].…”
