Abstract
The new neutron-rich nuclide Hg-209 has, been identified for the first time. An on-line, gas-thermochromatographic technique Nas developed f or rapidly separating the Hg-element products from 600-MeV O-18+Pb-nat (thick target) reaction system. A special detection arrangement was us ed in order to detect the weak gamma-activities of the neutron-rich Hg isotopes. The half-life of Hg-209 was determined to be 35(-6)(+9)s.
