Abstract
Two positive-parity and two negative-parity groups of states of non-collective character with excitation energies ranging from 3 to 7 MeV and spins as high as 21 ħ have been established in 192Pb. The main features of each group are described phenomenologically as four-quasiparticle configurations, arising from coupling of the 2 + 1, 4 + 1 and 6 + 1 states to a specific aligned neutron two-quasiparticle configuration. Supporting evidence for this interpretation and the importance of proton excitations in this singly closed-shell nucleus is obtained from the predictions of the quasiparticle multi-step shell model (QMSM). In addition, a four-quasiparticle structure of predominant neutron character is proposed on the basis of comparisons with the experimental data on 194Pb and with the results of the QMSM calculations.
