Abstract
New experimental total β-decay energies of and of the two isomers of have been obtained, giving much improved accuracy for the nuclear masses of these nuclides. The neutron separation energies at were deduced and are compared to recent theoretical and systematic predictions. The new results resolve the problem with the excitation energy of the isomeric state of . Theoretical calculations of the isomer splitting of are in good agreement with the new data.
