Nuclear structure studies of low-lying states in 194Os using fast-timing coincidence gamma-ray spectroscopy
The properties of excited states in the neutron-rich nucleus 194Os have been investigated using the 192Os(18O,16O)194Os 2 neutron transfer reaction using a 80 MeV 18O heavy-ion beam provided by the tandem van de Graaff accelerator at the IFIN-HH laboratory Bucharest. Discrete γ-ray decays from excit...
