Direct observation of the ¹¹⁴Ba → ¹¹⁰Xe → ¹⁰⁶Te → ¹⁰²Sn triple α-decay chain using position and time correlations

RADIOACTIVITY ¹¹⁴Ba, ¹¹⁰Xe, ¹⁰⁶Te(α)[¹¹⁴Ba from ⁵⁸Ni(⁵⁸Ni, 2n), E=210 MeV using RITU recoil separator, ¹¹⁰Xe and ¹⁰⁶Te from descendents of ¹¹⁴Ba decay]; measured Eα, Iα, three successive α-decay correlated events, half-lives of decays of ¹¹⁴Ba, ¹¹⁰Xe and ¹⁰⁶Te, reaction cross section at K130 cyclotron facility of University of Jyvaskyla; deduced Q(α), Q(^12C), α-decay mode branching ratios, reduced α-decay widths.
