Low-spin structure of 21 Bi investigated in cold-neutron capture reaction on 29 Bi Natalia Cieplicka, S. Leoni, B. Fornal INFN, Sezione di Milano 5th orkshop on Nuclear Level Density and Gamma Strength, Oslo, May 18-22, 215

Physics motivation hy the 21 Bi nucleus is an ideal nucleus for testing the shell-model calculations? A rich ground for comparisons with theory, also states arising from coupling of proton and neutron particles excitations to the 3 first excited state of octupole character in doubly-magic 28 Pb are also expected. The unknown multipolarity of the main transition feeding the ground state introduced rather large uncertainties in measurements of the capture cross section to the ground state in 21 Bi. Z=82 N=126 The measured lifetimes may be compared to predictions of shell-model calculations. 5th orkshop on Nuclear Level Density and Gamma Strength, Oslo, May 18-22, 215

Summary The level structure of 21 Bi investigated in cold neutron capture on 29 Bi was compared to shell model calculations some of the states must come from the core excitations. The analysis of angular correlations allowed to confirm almost pure M1 character of the main transition leading to the ground state. The results of present analysis of 21 Bi structure will serve as an excellent testing ground for the future calculataions. 5th orkshop on Nuclear Level Density and Gamma Strength, Oslo, May 18-22, 215
