Investigation of the $\Delta n = 0$ selection rule in Gamow-Teller transitions: The $\beta$-decay of $^{207}$Hg
/ Berry, T A (Surrey U.) ; Podolyák, Zs (Surrey U.) ; Carroll, R J (Surrey U.) ; Lică, R (CERN ; Bucharest, IFIN-HH) ; Grawe, H ; Timofeyuk, N K (Surrey U.) ; Alexander, T (Surrey U.) ; Andreyev, A N (York U., England) ; Ansari, S (Cologne U.) ; Borge, M J G (CERN ; Madrid, Inst. Estructura Materia) et al.
Gamow-Teller $\beta$ decay is forbidden if the number of nodes in the radial wave functions of the initial and final states is different. This $\Delta n=0$ requirement plays a major role in the $\beta$ decay of heavy neutron-rich nuclei, affecting the nucleosynthesis through the increased half-lives of nuclei on the astrophysical $r$-process pathway below both $Z=50$ (for $N>82$ ) and $Z=82$ (for $N>126$).

Octupole states in $^{207}$Tl studied through $β$ decay
/ Berry, T A (Surrey U.) ; Podolyák, Zs (Surrey U.) ; Carroll, R J (Surrey U.) ; Lică, R (CERN ; Bucharest, IFIN-HH) ; Brown, B A (Michigan State U.) ; Grawe, H (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Sotty, Ch (Bucharest, IFIN-HH ; Leuven U.) ; Timofeyuk, N K (Surrey U.) ; Alexander, T (Surrey U.) ; Andreyev, A N (York U., England) et al.
The $β$ decay of $^{207}$Hg into the single-proton-hole nucleus $^{207}$Tl has been studied through $γ$-ray spectroscopy at the ISOLDE Decay Station (IDS) with the aim of identifying states resulting from coupling of the $πs^{−1}_{1/2}, πd^{−1}_{3/2},$ and $πh^{−1}_{11/2}$ shell model orbitals to the collective octupole vibration. Twenty-two states were observed lying between 2.6 and 4.0 MeV, eleven of which were observed for the first time, and 78 new transitions were placed. [...]

Competition between allowed and first-forbidden $β$ decays of $^{208}$At and expansion of the $^{208}$Po level scheme
/ Brunet, M (Surrey U.) ; Podolyák, Zs (Surrey U.) ; Berry, T A (Surrey U.) ; Brown, B A (Michigan State U., NSCL) ; Carroll, R J (Surrey U.) ; Lica, R (CERN ; Bucharest, IFIN-HH) ; Sotty, Ch (Bucharest, IFIN-HH ; Leuven U.) ; Andreyev, A N (York U., England ; JAEA, Ibaraki) ; Borge, M J G (CERN) ; Cubiss, J G (CERN ; Madrid U.) et al.
The structure of $^{208}$Po populated through the EC/$β^+$ decay of $^{208}$At is investigated using $γ$-ray spectroscopy at the ISOLDE Decay Station. The presented level scheme contains 27 new excited states and 43 new transitions, as well as a further 50 previously observed $γ$ rays which have been (re)assigned a position. [...]

Fast-timing study of the $l$-forbidden $1/2^+ \rightarrow 3/2^+ M1$ transition in $^{129}Sn$
/ Lică, R (CERN ; Bucharest, IFIN-HH) ; Mach, H (Warsaw, Inst. Nucl. Studies) ; Fraile, L M (UCM, Madrid, Dept. Phys.) ; Gargano, A (INFN, Naples) ; Borge, M J G (CERN ; Madrid, Inst.

Phys.) ; Andreyev, A N (York U., England) ; Benzoni, G (INFN, Milan) et al.
The levels in Sn129 populated from the β− decay of In129 isomers were investigated at the ISOLDE facility of CERN using the newly commissioned ISOLDE Decay Station (IDS). The lowest 1/2+ state and the 3/2+ ground state in Sn129 are expected to have configurations dominated by the neutron s1/2 (l=0) and d3/2 (l=2) single-particle states, respectively. [...]

Competition between Allowed and First-Forbidden $β$ Decay: The Case of $^{208}$Hg$→^{208}$Tl
/ Carroll, R J (Surrey U.) ; Podolyák, Zs (Surrey U. ; Darmstadt, GSI) ; Berry, T (Surrey U.) ; Grawe, H (Darmstadt, GSI) ; Alexander, T (Surrey U.) ; Andreyev, A N (York U., England ; JAEA, Ibaraki) ; Ansari, S (Cologne U.) ; Borge, M J G (CERN) ; Brunet, M (Surrey U.) ; Creswell, J R (Liverpool U.) et al.
The $β$ decay of $^{208}$Hg into the one-proton hole, one neutron-particle $^{208}_{81}$Tl$_{127}$ nucleus was investigated at CERN-ISOLDE. Shell-model calculations describe well the level scheme deduced, validating the proton-neutron interactions used, with implications for the whole of the N>126, Z<82 quadrant of neutron-rich nuclei.

$β$ decay studies of n-rich Cs isotopes with the ISOLDE Decay Station
/ Lică, R (CERN ; Bucharest, IFIN-HH) ; Benzoni, G (INFN, Milan) ; Morales, A I (INFN, Milan) ; Borge, M J G (CERN ; Madrid, Inst. Estructura Materia) ; Fraile, L M (UCM, Madrid, Dept.

Neutron-rich Ba isotopes are expected to exhibit octupolar correlations, reaching their maximum in isotopes around mass A = 146. The odd-A neutron-rich members of this isotopic chain show typical patterns related to non-axially symmetric shapes, which are however less marked compared to even-A ones, pointing to a major contribution from vibrations.

The β− decay of Mg34 was used to study the Al34 nucleus through γ spectroscopy at the Isotope Separator On-Line facility of CERN. Previous studies identified two β-decaying states in Al34 having spin-parity assignments Jπ=4− dominated by the normal configuration π(d5/2)−1⊗ν(f7/2) and Jπ=1+ by the intruder configuration π(d5/2)−1⊗ν(d3/2)−1(f7/2)2.

/IDS
The occurrence of octupolar shapes in the Ba isotopic chain was recently established experimentally up to $N=90$. To further extend the systematics, the evolution of shapes in the most neutron-rich members of the $Z=56$ isotopic chain accessible at present, $^{148,150}$Ba, has been studied via $\beta$ decay at the ISOLDE Decay Station.

Lifetimes and shape-coexisting states of $^{99}Zr$
/ Spagnoletti, P (West Scotland U.) ; Simpson, G (LPSC, Grenoble) ; Kisyov, S (Bucharest, IFIN-HH) ; Bucurescu, D (Bucharest, IFIN-HH) ; Régis, J M (Cologne U.) ; Saed-Samii, N (Cologne U.) ; Blanc, A (Laue-Langevin Inst.) ; Jentschel, M (Laue-Langevin Inst.) ; Köster, U (Laue-Langevin Inst.) ; Mutti, P (Laue-Langevin Inst.) et al.
Lifetimes of intermediate-spin states in two rotational bands of $^{99}Zr$ have been measured. These states were populated following the neutron-induced fission of $^{235}U$ at the PF1B beamline of the Institut Laue-Langevin, Grenoble, during the EXILL-FATIMA campaign. [...]
