Systematic shell-model study of Rn isotopes with A = 207 to 216 and isomeric states

Abstract

We present systematic large-scale shell-model calculations for Rn isotopes with A = 207 to 216. For the 207–212Rn isotopes, we perform calculations with KHH7B interaction, while for 213–216Rn isotopes with KHPE and KHH7B interactions. The calculated energies and electromagnetic properties are compared with the available experimental data and predicted where experimental data are not available. We also suggest spins and parities of several unconfirmed states available from the recent experimental data. Comprehensive study of several isomeric states from the calculated shell-model configurations and half-lives is also reported.
