As part of a research program to study the transitional region of N=88
isotones, ¹⁵²Tb was produced by the reaction ¹⁵¹Eu(α,3n)¹⁵²Tb in the 88" cyclotron
located at LBNL. Gamma-ray spectroscopy of the radiation emitted from excited
¹⁵²Gd following the β⁺ decay of ¹⁵²Tb has been performed using an array of...
The decay scheme of Mn⁵¹ has been investigated using gamma-ray
and beta-ray scintillation spectrometers and a fast coincidence
spectrometer. A half-life value of 46.5 ± 0.2 minutes was determined
for Mn⁵¹ which decays predominantly to the ground state of
Cr⁵¹ by the emission of positons with an experimentally measured
end-point...
