Abstract
The isotope was identified in irradiations of via its α-decay properties: =7.044±0.015 MeV, and ms. The assignment was based on excitation-function and cross-bombardment KSm and Sm) information and on decay-energy systematics. Also, in the course of the Sm measurements, two α groups that have not been reported previously were assigned to α decay. The observation of these α groups necessitates a correction to the adopted mass of .
