Abstract
The new isotope was produced by bombarding with ions at MeV. The -decay scheme of was determined from -ray singles and coincidence experiments using large Ge(Li) detectors. The half life of was found to be 1.79 ± 0.10 s. A new level with excitation energy 2792 keV was observed in the daughter, . The ground-state spin and parity of was determined to be and its total decay energy was measured to be 8.51 ± 0.10 MeV. This corresponds to a mass excess of - 52.89 ± 0.10 MeV, which is compared with various predictions. The structure of as determined from the present work and from previous experiments is compared with a shell-model calculation.
