Abstract: 
Experiments designed to provide more information on the spectroscopy of Bi-214, and on Pb-214(beta-)Bi-214 in particular, were undertaken because of interest in first-forbidden beta decay in the lead region. The experiments consisted of gamma-gamma coincidences and angular correlations, conversion electron measurements, level lifetime determinations, and precision gamma-ray energy measurements. The 352-keV level of Bi-214 was found to be a strong candidate (and the only candidate) for the 0(1)- state. Recent additions to the Pb-214 decay scheme are confirmed by gamma-gamma coincidence measurements. A careful evaluation of the Bi-214 level scheme is made with emphasis on separating experimentally based conclusions from speculations based on systematics and other "weak" arguments. Shell-model calculations of the spectroscopy of Bi-210, Bi-212 and Pb-210, Pb-212(beta-)Bi-210, Bi-212 were performed using a modification of the Kuo-Herling realistic interaction. These calculations and a generalized seniority model provide a basis for an examination of the systematics of the A = 210, 212, 214 spectroscopy and beta decay. The generalized seniority model is found to be a quite good approximation which provides a quantitative understanding of the Pb-214 decay rates.
