2014 The half-life (1.2 ± 0.1 ns) of the 789.9 keV 9/2level in 193Au is measured. The retardation of the deexciting M 1 and E 2 transitions suggests that this 9/2state, as well as those found in 187, 189, 191 gold nuclei, issues from the h9/2 orbit. The average shape of the Au nuclei in these states and of their even Pt cores is interpreted with the particle + asymmetric rotor model. LE JOURNAL...
