Abstract

The alpha decay of Pb-183 has been studied in detail at the focal plane of the RITU gas-filled separator. The four previously known alpha decay branches have been ordered into the decay of two isomers in Pb-183. The deduced decay scheme and the interpretation of the inferred alpha decay hindrance factors and gamma rays observed at the focal plane are strongly in favor of the recent suggestion of triple shape coexistence-oblate, prolate, and near-spherical in the daughter nucleus Hg-179.
