The beta-decay scheme of ²³²Fr and the K = 0 ground-state band in ²³²Ra

The beta-decay of Fr-232 to excited states in Ra-232 has been studied using gamma-gamma coincidence detection combined with the isotope separator on-line technique at the ISOLDE PSB facility at CERN. Earlier findings are confirmed and three new gamma lines are reported. In addition to the beta-decay characteristics of Fr-232, the K = 0 ground-state band in Ra-232 is identified. A yield survey of neutron-rich Fr isotopes, important also for the EURISOL project, is incorporated.
