Abstract

Exotic, neutron-rich proton-induced spallation products of ²³²Th and ²³⁸U obtained from the PS Booster ISOLDE facility have been investigated by γ-γ, α-γ coincidence and spectrum-multiscaling measurements. A new method for the reduction of isobaric contamination enabled to study the unknown region beyond ²⁰⁸Pb for the decay chain A = 217. A new isotope ²¹⁷Bi with a half-life of 98.5 ≠ 0.8 s was discovered and its β-decay studied. For the first time, a half-life value of 1.53 ≠ 0.03 a for the α-decay of ²¹⁷Po was measured.
