Abstract
The isotope was produced in a bombardment of by ions at 340 MeV. Reaction products were separated from the beam by the Berkeley Gas-Filled Separator, and implanted into a silicon strip detector where the subsequent decays were measured. Four distinct transitions from were observed correlated to 6.54 MeV decays from the previously known daughter. In some cases, the decay was followed by a 5.815-MeV decay. This new transition is tentatively assigned to the decay of the ground state. The half-life of was measured to be The decay branch of was determined to be 90(6)%.
