Popis: A study of the laser-ionized and mass-separated neutron-deficient isotopes Au 176 , 177 , 179 was performed using the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source and the Windmill detection setup at ISOLDE, CERN. New and improved data on complex fine-structure α decays of the three isotopes were deduced, providing insight into the low-lying levels in the daughter nuclei Ir 172 , 173 , 175 . New information on the properties of β -decay daughter products Pt 177 , 179 was also obtained. From the first in-source laser spectroscopy measurements of the hyperfine structure in the atomic 267.6-nm transition of Au 176 , the nuclear magnetic moments for both high- and low-spin α -decaying states were deduced. Together with the values determined from the additivity relations, they were used to propose the most probable spins and configurations for both states. The α -decay branching ratios were determined as b α ( Au ls 176 ) = 58 ( 5 ) % and b α ( Au hs 176 ) = 29 ( 5 ) % .
