Abstract: High spin states of 207Rn have been investigated via the 196Pt(16O,5n)207Rn reaction at 16O energies from 85 to 95 MeV using techniques of in beam γ-ray spectroscopy. The measurements of γ-ray excitation fuction,γ-ray spectra,γ-γ-t coincidences and decay γ ray spectra were performed with 10 BGO(AC)HPGe detectors.Based on these measurements,a level scheme of 207Rn with 17 γ rays is established. The spins for most of the levels in the scheme are proposed according to the results of measured γ-ray DCO ratios. Comparing the structure between 208Rn and 207 Rn, the low lying levels in 207Rn are interpreted by coupling a valence neutron hole (f 5/2) to the excited states in 208Rn core.
