Abstract

A series of recoil distance Doppler-shift lifetime measurements have been carried out to probe collectivity and configuration mixing of different shapes in the vicinity of neutron mid-shell Pb nuclei. Lifetime measurements of Pb-186 and Po-194, the first ever utilizing the recoil-decay tagging method, probed the collectivity of coexisting prolate and oblate shapes in this region. Futher lifetime measurements of excited states in Hg-180, Hg-182 and Po-196 have been carried out.
