Abstract

The 1i13/2 -> 1h9/2 (M2) and 3s1/2 -> 2f7/2 (E3) reduced proton transition probabilities in 83209Bi have been determined from the direct half-life measurements of the 13/21+ and 1/21+ states using the Romanian array for gamma-ray SPectroscopy in HEavy ion REactions (RoSPHERE). The 13/21+ and 1/21+ states were found to have T1/2 = 0.120(15) ns and T1/2 = 9.02(24) ns respectively. Angular distribution measurements were used to determine an E3/M2 mixing ratio of δ = -0.184(13) for the 1609 keV gamma-ray transition deexciting the 13/21+ state. This value for δ was combined with the measured half-life to give reduced transition probabilities of B(E3, 13/21+ -> 9/21-) = 12(2) x 103 e2 fm6 and B(M2, 13/21+ -> 9/21-) = 38(5)μ2N fm2. These values are in good agreement with calculations within the finite Fermi system. The extracted value of B(E3, 1/21+) -> 7/21-) = 6.3(2) x 103 e2 fm6 can be explained by a small (similar to 6%) admixture in the wave function of the 1/21+ state.
