Abstract

The extremely neutron-deficient isotope Pb178 has been produced. The GREAT spectrometer at the focal plane position of the gas-filled separator RITU was used to study the α decay of Pb178 and its α-decay chain through α-α correlations. The α decay was measured to have an energy and half-life of Eα= 7610(30) keV and t1/2=0.21-0.08+0.21 ms, respectively. The half-life is consistent with recent theoretical calculations using the Coulomb and proximity potential model. The α-decay reduced width and hindrance factor for Pb178 were deduced and correspond to an unhindered Δl = 0 transition. In addition, the mass excess of Pb178 and the α-decay Q value were calculated from the experimental results and compared to theoretical values.
