The /EC decay of mass separated samples of
Hg was studied employing the TATRA spectrometer at the ISOLDE facility at CERN. The decay scheme was constructed for the first time. A Broad Energy Germanium detector was used to achieve this by combination of high-gain
-ray singles spectroscopy and
–
coincidences. The systematics of excited states associated with the 1
proton-hole configuration in odd-Au isotopes was extended.
