Abstract

The lifetime of the 21+ state of 212Po was measured in the 208Pb(12C, 8Be)212Po transfer reaction by γ-ray spectroscopy employing the recoil distance Doppler shift (RDDS) method. The derived absolute B(E2) value of 2.6(3) W.u. indicates a low collectivity and contradicts previous claims of alpha-cluster components in the structure of the 21+ state. It is demonstrated that a consistent description of the properties of the 21+-41+-61+-81+ sequence in 212Po cannot be achieved in the framework of a single-j-shell-model calculation, either. This puzzle is traced to the properties of the seniority-2 configurations in 210Pb and 210Po.
