Abstract

The nuclei Bi-198-200 were populated via the W-186(F-19,xn) Bi-198-200 reaction at beam energies of 115 MeV and 105 MeV. Another experiment, aimed at investigating the high-spin-level structure of Bi-203 Bi-204, used the Pt-198-(B-11,xn) reaction at a beam energy of 74 MeV. Five new DeltaI = 1 rotational structures, consisting of stretched magnetic dipole transitions, have been observed. One of these bands is assigned to Bi-198, one to Bi-199, two to Bi-200, and one to Bi-203. The behaviour of the dynamic moments of inertia of these oblate bands is compared with other bands in neighbouring Pb and Bi nuclei.
