    Abstract

    Fine structure in the α decay of high-spin isomers in 155Lu (25/2) and 156Hf (8+) has been studied for the first time using αγ-coincidence analysis. Three new α decays from 155Lu (25/2) and two from 156Hf (8+) have been identified, populating seniority s > 1 states in the = 82 nuclei 151Tm and 152Yb, respectively. The reduced hindrance factors of the α decays support the previous configuration assignments of the populated states. This is the first observation of states with excitation energy greater than 1.5 MeV being populated following α decay in nuclei outside of the 208Pb region.
