Abstract:

The unknown isotope 139Tb and the known isotopes 138,139Gd were produced in the 36Ar+106Cd reaction and studied by using a He-jet tape transport system in combination with X-γ and γ-γ coincidence measurements. The half-lives of 139Tb, 139gGd, 139mGd and 138Gd were determined to be 1.6(2), 5.8(9), 4.8(9) and 4.7(9) s, respectively. Partial (EC+β+) decay schemes of 139gGd, 139mGd and 138Gd were proposed for the first time.
