Abstract
The nuclear radiations associated with the decay of have been investigated by a variety of spectroscopic techniques. Alpha groups were observed with energies and intensities of ∼6.75, (0.4±0.2)%?; 6.696±0.003, (3.2±0.3)%; 6.519±0.002, (94±1)%; 6.441±0.003, (2.0±0.4)%; and ∼6.35 MeV, (∼0.5)%?. Gamma-ray transitions were seen in coincidence with particles with energies of 242, 180, and 62 keV. The ground state of is given the Nilsson assignment as is the 242-keV state of . The ground state of is given the assignment . For these bands in the daughter nucleus the rotational constants have the respective values of 7.1±0.4 and 7.0±0.1 keV, the largest values found yet in the very heavy elements. Some of the - and -ray transitions are interpreted in terms of a Coriolis interaction between the two assigned Nilsson levels in the daughter nucleus.
