Mb. Smith et al., Systematic study of energy-spin entry distributions at the proton driplinein the A similar to 170 region, NUCL PHYS A, 682, 2001, pp. 433C-438C
Proton-rich Pt, Au and Hg nuclei have been populated following the bombardm
ent of Mo-92,Mo-94,Mo-96 targets by beams of Sr-84. Comparisons are made be
tween the entry distributions associated with both low- and high-spin Au173
-177 isomers, as well as the more stable Pt and Hg isobars, as a function o
f neutron number. This is the first time that a systematic study of such di
stributions has been conducted for nuclei near and beyond the proton dripli
ne.
