The 5/2−1, 9/2−1, and 11/2−1 states in 209Po were populated in the β decay of 209At and their lifetimes measured using the electronic γ−γ fast timing technique. The lifetime of the 9/2−1 state is measured for first time. The lifetime of the 5/2−1 is measured to be shorter than the value adopted in the literature while the lifetime of the 11/2−1 state agrees well with the previous measurement. In order to get deeper insight into the structure of the states, a shell-model calculation was carried out adopting a microscopic effective interaction derived from the realistic CD-Bonn potential. The comparison between theoretical and experimental data for the low-lying negative-parity states of 209Po supports the reliability of the predicted wave functions, which are found to be dominated by the coupling of a neutron hole to the yrast states of 210Po. However, it also points to the important role played by minor wave-function components in describing the reduced electromagnetic strengths, suggesting the need of additional configuration mixing for achieving a better quantitative agreement.
