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 N = 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.
