Spin values of the low lying nuclear levels of201Hg

Gamma-gamma directional correlations have been investigated for the cascades of 135-30 keV and 135-32 keV in²⁰¹Hg from the decay of²⁰¹Tl. A combination of NaI (Tl) and Si (Li) detectors was used for the experiments. Spin values ofI=1/2, 3/2 and 1/2 have been assigned to 1.58, 32.19 and 167.49 keV energy levels. In addition, the relative intensities of theγ rays have been measured with a Ge (Li) detector system. The results are 2.2±0.2, 2.2±0.2, 26.5±1.3, 1.6±0.1 and 100 for theγ rays of 30.60, 32.19, 135.34, 165.88 and 167.43 keV energies, respectively.
