Abstract
A new neutron-rich isotope, , was identified as the product of the reaction. Chemically separated sources were used to characterize its and radiations. The new isotope decays with a half-life of 34.9 ± 0.2 min. Ten rays have been assigned to this decay, the strongest being at 407.9 keV. A of 0.84 MeV was inferred from coincidence measurements. -ray energies and intensities as well as for the decay of the 52-sec daughter of have been remeasured and are in agreement with the results of an earlier investigation. A partial decay scheme for is proposed.
