    Abstract

    The isotope 176Au has been studied in the complete fusion reaction 40Ca+141Pr →176Au+5n at the velocity filter SHIP (GSI, Darmstadt). The complex fine-structure α decay of two isomeric states in 176Au feeding several previously unknown excited states in the daughter nucleus 172Ir is presented. An α-decay branching ratio of bα = 9.5(11)% was deduced for the high-spin isomer in 172Ir.
