Spin-alignment and g-factor measurement of the I^π = 12 + isomer in 192 Pb produced in the relativistic-energy fragmentation of a 238 U beam

. The feasibility of measuring g -factors using the TDPAD method applied to high-energy, heavy fragmentation products is explored. The 2623keV ^π=12^+ isomer in 192 Pb with τ = 1.57 μs has been produced using the fragmentation of a 1 A GeV 238 U beam. The results presented demonstrate for the first time that such heavy nuclei produced in a fragmentation reaction with a relativistic beam are sufficiently well spin-aligned. Moreover, the rather large value of the alignment, 28(10)
