Abstract
has been produced by double neutron capture in enriched . The beta decay of 50.4-hr and its daughter, 63.7-hr , has been studied with a solenoidal beta spectrometer and beta and gamma scintillation spectrometers. The highest energy group of the beta spectrum has an end-point energy of 1.83 Mev; this group represents the → ground-state beta transition. The beta decay of is accompanied by gamma rays of the following energies: 0.079, 0.180, 0.422, 0.495, 0.915, 1.095, 1.29, 1.39, 1.41, 1.47, 1.51, and 1.59 Mev. A decay scheme for is proposed with excited states in at 0.079, 0.259, 1.174, 1.47, 1.55, 1.59, and 1.67 Mev. The beta decay of is accompanied by gamma rays of the following energies: 0.050 (Tm x ray), 0.108, 0.126, 0.408, and 0.610 Mev, the last of which represents a transition to the ground state. The beta spectrum measured in coincidence with the 0.610-Mev gamma ray has an end-point energy of ∼0.26 Mev, which establishes a decay energy of 0.87 Mev for .
