Abstract
The heaviest stable mercury isotopes, 202Hg and 204Hg, have been studied with the (n, n'γ) reaction. Gamma-ray excitation functions with incident neutron energies up to 3 MeV permitted the placement of many new levels in these nuclei, while γ-ray angular distribution measurements have been used to deduce spin assignments. Several ambiguities and discrepancies about the low-lying level structures were resolved. Comparisons with available theoretical calculations indicate that the level structures of these nuclei are more complex than predicted.
