Abstract

Competing configurations, assigned with three different shapes, are mixed at low angular momentum in the neutron-deficient ¹⁸⁸Pb nucleus. Here, we present a simultaneous conversion electron and γ-ray in-beam spectroscopic precision measurement employing the sage spectrometer. The level energy of the first excited state, 0⁺₂, has been determined at 591(1) keV through direct measurement of conversion electrons. By using the intensity of the observed 0⁺₂→0⁺₁ transition to the ground state, the feeding of the 0⁺₂ state has been determined for the first time, which suggests the 0⁺₂ state is the head of the predominantly prolate band. The compositions of the 4⁺₂→4⁺₁and 2⁺₂→2⁺₁ inter-band transitions have been determined, indicating configuration mixing between the bands.
