Abstract

The experimental results from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides in the $A = 160$ mass chain have been reviewed. The elements included range from Sm ( $Z = 62$ ) through Re ( $Z = 75$ ). These data are summarized and presented, together with adopted level schemes and properties. This work is intended to supersede the previous evaluation of the $A = 160$ nuclides by this author (1996Re22), which was published in Nuclear Data Sheets 78, 547 (1996).

Determination of the 161Tb half-life
2022, Applied Radiation and Isotopes
Citation Excerpt :
Terbium-160 (T1/2 = 72.3(2) d (Reich, 2005)) was identified in the spectrum (Fig. 2) and its activity determined by the weighted mean of the 879.4 keV, 962.3 keV, 966.2 keV, 1178.0 keV and 1271.9 keV gamma rays, accounting for covariances. The absolute gamma-ray emission intensities were derived from the evaluation of Reich (2005). The resulting activity of 160Tb was 113.7(28) Bq g-1 at the reference time of 2019-10-01 12:00 UTC.
There is significant interest in the use of terbium radioisotopes for applications in cancer therapy and diagnosis. Of these, ¹⁶¹Tb, as a medium energy beta-emitter, is being investigated as a potential alternative to ¹⁷⁷Lu. The relatively high proportion of conversion electron and Auger electron emissions per decay make ¹⁶¹Tb an attractive targeted therapeutic. As a product of nuclear fission, ¹⁶¹Tb is also of importance to nuclear forensics. The standard uncertainty of the current evaluated half-life of 6.89(2) d contributes significantly to the standard uncertainty of any decay corrected activity determination made. Furthermore, the accuracy of this evaluated half-life has been called into question by measurements reported in 2020 at the Institute of Radiation Physics (IRA), Switzerland, who reported a half-life of 6.953(2) d. In the current work, the half-life of the ¹⁶¹Tb ground state decay has been measured at three independent laboratories located in the United Kingdom and the United States of America for a total of six determinations using three independent measurement techniques; gamma-ray spectrometry, ionisation chamber measurement and liquid scintillation counting. The half-life determined for ¹⁶¹Tb of 6.9637(29) d confirms the observed 1% relative increase observed by IRA, though the reported half-lives in this work and at IRA are significantly different (ζ-score = 3.1).
Electric monopole transitions in nuclei
2022, Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics
Electric monopole, $E 0$ transitions in nuclei are reviewed. Values for $ρ^{2} (E 0) \times 1 0^{3}$ , $X (E 0 / E 2)$ and $q_{K}^{2} (E 0 / E 2)$ are tabulated. Particular attention is paid to a complete re-evaluation of all reported values starting from raw input data, i.e. none of the adopted values are taken from the literature without evaluation. Values for $J \to J$ transitions for $J = 0$ , $J = 2$ , and some selected $J = 4$ transitions are given. The $2 \to 2$ transitions involve evaluation of $δ (E 2 / M 1)$ mixing ratios. These were usually assessed from values given in ENSDF. Asymmetric uncertainties and multiple sources of error are handled using up-to-date, Monte Carlo-based procedures. All conversion coefficients and electronic factors are taken from the latest tabulations. As a second major component of the review, a detailed illustration of the association of $E 0$ transition strengths with the manifestation of shape coexistence in nuclei is made. This demonstrates that large $E 0$ transition strengths are a strong indication of the presence of shape coexistence in nuclei. In many cases this is shown to be directly corroborated by $B (E 2)$ data. Some details of experimental techniques behind the input data are given. The connection between $E 0$ transition strengths and mean-square charge radii, isotope and isomer shifts is sketched.
Measurement of the 160Gd(p,n)160Tb excitation function from 4–18 MeV using stacked-target activation
2021, Applied Radiation and Isotopes

First, Birattari used a current integrator instead of monitor foils and did not account for the current drop across the aluminum degrader required to reach energies below 18 MeV at the Milan AVF cyclotron (Birattari et al., 1973). Second, an increase in the excitation function is expected based on the change in 160Tb 879 keV branching ratio used in Birattari’s work from 32.1% in 1973 to 30.1% in 2020 (Birattari et al., 1973; Reich, 2005). Several nuclear data models’ predicted excitation functions were compared to the results from this experiment.
The ¹⁶⁰Gd(p,n)¹⁶⁰Tb excitation function was measured between 4–18 MeV using stacked-target activation at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s 88-Inch Cyclotron. Nine copper and eight titanium foils served as proton fluence monitor foils, using the ^natCu(p,x)⁶⁵Zn, ^natTi(p,x)⁴⁸V, and ^natTi(p,x)⁴⁶Sc monitor standards, respectively. Variance minimization using an MCNP v.6.2 model reduced the systematic uncertainties in proton energy and fluence. A priori predictions of the ¹⁶⁰Gd(p,n) reaction using ALICE, CoH, EMPIRE, and TALYS, as well as the TENDL database, are compared to the experimentally measured values.
Gamma-ray spectrometry in the decays of odd-mass Pt isotopes produced by neutron irradiation of natural Pt
2021, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment
In order to clarify the data on the energies and intensities of the $γ$ rays emitted in the decays of the odd-mass Pt isotopes, which are often used as monitors in experiments to measure cross sections or excitation functions, a new spectrometric study has been undertaken of the decays of $^{191,193,195,197,199}$ Pt using samples produced in the neutron irradiation of natural Pt. Energy values have been determined by comparison to known calibration sources down to an uncertainty of 10 eV for the strongest lines, and relative intensities often to an uncertainty of 1%. More precise absolute branching ratios were determined for several cases. New and more precise values for the half-lives were also determined.
A note on Jacobi-type transitions in finite nuclei
2021, Annals of Physics
The Jacobi-type transitions (JTTs) in nuclei and their connections with excite-state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) have been investigated within the framework of the interacting boson model (IBM) by both the semiclassical analysis and quantal calculations. The results indicate that the quadrupole deformation of a transitional system may change from $γ$ rigid to $γ$ soft as the angular momentum increases. This change may in turn drive the JTTs to occur around the saddle point of the corresponding classical potential, where the precursors of ESQPT can be also identified even for a realistic boson number. A further comparison between the experimental data and the model predictions confirms that the JTT phenomena may widely occur in the rare-earth isotopes associated with the 1st-order quantum phase transitions.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A=233
2020, Nuclear Data Sheets
The present evaluation of the known A=233 nuclides (²³³Fr, ²³³Ra, ²³³Ac, ²³³Th, ²³³Pa, ²³³U, ²³³Np, ²³³Pu, ²³³Am, ²³³Cm) and ²³³Bk represents an update and revision, after 15 years of the previous evaluation of A=233 published by B. Singh and J.K. Tuli (2005Si15). Laboratory identification of ²³³Bk nuclide is still considered as tentative. Various decay and reaction data are evaluated and compared. Adopted data, levels, gammas, level half-lives, spins, parities, and configuration assignments are provided. For ²³³Fr, ²³³Ra, ²³³Ac, ²³³Pu, ²³³Am and ²³³Cm, information is available for the respective ground states only. The decay schemes from β⁻ decays of ²³³Fr and ²³³Ra, and from ε decay of ²³³Am and ²³³Cm are unknown, while those from β⁻ decay of ²³³Ac, and from ε decay of ²³³Np are considered incomplete. The α decay of ²³⁷Np to ²³³Pa has been studied in detail by many investigators, yet the decay scheme is considered incomplete as several very low-energy transitions are involved, without the knowledge of their intensities, resulting in mismatch of directly measured α feedings and those deduced from γ-transition intensity balances. The decay schemes from α decays of ²³⁷Am, ²³⁷Cm and ²³⁷Cf to respective A=233 daughters are considered incomplete. Particle-transfer and high-spin data are available for ²³³Th, ²³³Pa and ²³³U nuclei, which remain the most extensively studied in this mass chain. However, data for half-lives for the excited states are available only for one level in ²³³Pa, and for five levels in ²³³U, thus limiting the knowledge of reduced transition probabilities in this mass chain.
