Technique for Resolving Low-lying Isomers in the Experimental Storage Ring (ESR) and the Occurrence of an Isomeric State in¹⁹²Re

Abstract

A recent experiment using projectile fragmentation of a 197Au beam on a 9Be target, combined with the fragment recoil separator and experimental storage ring at ring at GSI, has uncovered an isomeric state in 192Re at 267(10) keV with a half-life of ∼60
