The α decay of 222Th populating the low-lying J π = 3− state, and also a proposed 1− state, in 218Ra has been
observed. The observations suggest an excitation energy of 853 keV for the 1− state, which is 60 keV above the
3− state. The hindrance factors of these α decays give a possible boundary to the region of ground-state octupole
deformation in the light-actinide nuclei. The relative positions of the J π = 1− and 3− states suggest they are
produced by an octupole-vibrational mechanism, as opposed to α clustering or rotations of a reflection-asymmetric
octupole-deformed shape.
