Abstract

Lifetimes of 21+ and 41+ states as well as some negative-parity and nonyrast states in 188-200Hg were measured using γ-γ electronic fast timing techniques with the LaBr3(Ce) detector array of the GRIFFIN spectrometer. The excited states were populated in the ϵ/β+ decay of Jπ = 7/2- 188-200Tl produced at the TRIUMF-ISAC facility. The deduced B(E2) values are compared to different interacting boson model predictions. The precision achieved in this paper over previous ones allows for a meaningful comparison with the different theoretical models of these transitional Hg isotopes, which confirms the onset of state mixing in 190Hg.
