Abstract: The present project aims at investigating the transition from the seniority regime to the collective motion in the case of Po isotopes. The behavior of the transition probabilities in the two regions is completely opposite and therefore, represents a clear signature which allows one to distinguish between the two types of structure and to identify the microscopic structure of different excited states. In order to deduce the transition probabilities in atomic nuclei, one needs the lifetime of the excited states as a principal ingredient. These observables are very difficult to measure since usually the levels have lifetimes situated in the range below nanosecond. To perform such sensitive investigations, we plan to use the in-beam fast-timing method developed in our laboratory and a combination of HPGe and LaBr3:Ce detectors available in IFIN-HH. The method allows for lifetime measurements in a broad range and is perfectly suited for investigations in the region of Po isotopes. This ambitious task represents the goal of the present project and will allow revealing the nature of the structure in exotic nuclei. In addition, it will allow testing of different state-of-the-art theoretical models employed in the last years to interpret the structure of Po nuclei. These models are giving contradictory predictions and it is an open question which one, if any, truly describes the experimental situation in this region. All the new data determined from the experiment will be compiled and prepared to be included in the largest database of nuclear physics, the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File. Providing data in this format has the advantage to deliver the best values for different properties in nuclear structure.
