Lifetimes of prolate intruder states in ¹⁸⁶Pb and oblate intruder states in ¹⁹⁴Po have been determined by employing, for the first time, the recoil-decay tagging technique in recoil distance Doppler-shift lifetime measurements. In addition, lifetime measurements of prolate states in ¹⁸⁸Pb up to the 8⁺state were carried out using the recoil-gating method. The B(E2) values have been deduced from which deformation parameters lβ₂l = 0.29(5) and lβ₂l = 0.17(3) for the prolate and the oblate bands, respectively, have been extracted. The results also shed new light on the …
