“…III B 2, the strongest α decays of both states in 178 Au at 5928(10), 5926(8), and 5976(8) keV could be distinguished via coincidences with γ transition [Figs. 1(b) and 1(c)], which match well to the decays attributed to two α-decaying states in 178 Au [18].…”

“…In contrast to the ISOLDE study of 178 Au m,g [18], the separation of α decays from the isomeric and ground states is not possible in our study, if one relies only on the ER-α correlations in Fig. 1(a).…”

“…In particular, the magnetic moments for 177,179 Au showed dominant π s 1/2 configurations with presumably near-spherical ground states [6], indicating an end to the region of strongly deformed ground states in gold nuclei. However, for 178 Au (N = 99), two α-decaying states were observed, with their magnetic moments best described by deformed Nilsson configurations [18]. The presence of these two deformed states in 178 Au, which is sandwiched between the near-spherical 177,179 Au nuclei, highlights the strong competition between spherical and deformed configurations in the lightest gold isotopes.…”

“…In the ISOLDE study it was possible to identify and separate a low-spin ground state with T 1/2 = 3.4(5) s and a high-spin isomer with T 1/2 = 2.7(5) s in 178 Au, with most likely spin assignments of I π = (2 + 3 − ) and (7 + 8 − ), respectively [18]. Fine-structure α-decay schemes were constructed for both states, with the most prominent lines appearing at E α = 5922(5) keV, I α,rel = 86.49(9)% for 178 Au g , and E α = 5925(7) keV [86.33( 13)%] and 5977 (10) keV [5.90(12)%] for 178 Au m .…”

“…However, most of them were not placed in the decay scheme of 182 Tl. This is due to complexity and multitude of closely lying low-energy excited states in the daughter nuclide 178 Au, which result from a variety of configurations expected to coexist in this nucleus [18].…”

The neutron-deficient gold (Z = 79) isotopes in the vicinity of the neutron midshell N = 104 provide prolific examples of shape coexistence and isomerism at low excitation energy. They can be probed via a number of different experimental techniques. In this study, two new isomeric states with half-lives of 294(7) and 373(9) ns have been observed in the neutron-deficient odd-odd nuclide 178 Au (N = 99) in an experiment at the RITU gas-filled separator at JYFL, Jyväskylä. This result was achieved due to the use of a segmented planar germanium detector with a high efficiency at low energies. By applying the recoil-decay tagging technique, they were assigned to decay to two different long-lived α-decaying states in 178 Au.
