Abstract

Yrast states of the nuclei 188Pb and 186Pb located in the middle of the 82 < N < 126 shell have been studied for the first time in the reactions 156,154Gd (36Ar, 4n ) at 175 MeV. Gamma rays following the heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reactions were detected in coincidence with evaporation residues. Both nuclei exhibit a structure very different from the heavier even-even lead isotopes and show low-lying, probably prolate rotational bands.
