In-beam γ-ray spectroscopy of low- and medium-spin levels in 211Po

The structure of the low- and medium-spin levels of the 211Po nucleus have been studied with in-beam γ-ray spectroscopy with the 208Pb(α,n)211Po fusion-evaporation reaction. The level scheme was further extended with levels of the configurations π(h9/2)22+−4+⊗νg9/2, π(h9/2)28+⊗νg9/2, π(h9/2)22+−4+⊗νi11/2, π(h9/2)22+−4+⊗νj15/2, π(h9/2f7/2)8+⊗νg9/2, and π(h9/2)20+⊗ν(g9/2)20+(s1/2)−1. The single-particle neutron states νd5/2 and νs1/2 were also identified. Furthermore, a number of states feeding the low-spin structures were added
