Abstract
Fine structure in the decay of , populating excited states in , was studied using -coincidence spectroscopy. Two -decay branches from have been newly observed, with and 8247(3)[1.51(12)], together with three previously known branches. Also, two new states in were identified at = 177 and 227 keV. The ground-state configurations of the odd-, = 131 transitional isotones above are interpreted from their -decay fine structure systematics and considered in terms of predictions using spherical shell and reflection-asymmetric models.
