Abstract
Four new neutron-rich, fission-product nuclei have been identified at the on-line mass separator TRISTAN at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Their half-lives have been measured to be, for , sec; for , sec; for , sec; and for , sec. These nuclei are of particular importance in nucleosynthesis calculations, since they lie in the region of the rare-earth maximum in process abundances. A comparison of these and other new half-lives with recent calculations discloses a characteristic pattern of discrepancies.
