Abstract
An isomeric state of with a half-life of 66 ± 3 sec has been discovered in bombardments of lead with ions. The isomer decays by -particle emission and has a complex spectrum with major -particle groups at 6.46 (2%), 6.71 (8%), 6.75 (15%), 6.81 (27%), 6.84 (10%), 6.89 (15%), 6.97 (8%), and 7.00 MeV (15%). Evidence for the decay of the isomeric state both by isomeric transition (<10%) and by electron capture (∼1%) is presented. The half-life of was measured to be 0.7 ± 0.6 msec.
