General Comments:

1969WiZX: 106Nb produced in 252Cf SF decay, measured T1/2

1976Ah06: 106Nb produced in 239Pu fission fragments and charge determined from on-line niobium chemistry, measured half-life from 172γ decay curve

2009Pe06: 106Nb formed by fragmentation of 136Xe beam at 120 MeV/nucleon at NSCL facility using Coupled Cyclotrons and A1900 fragment separator. The time-of-flight and transversal positions of each particle was measured using two plastic scintillators. The ΔE energy loss in a Si PIN detector was measured which, when combined with time-of-flight (tof) and transversal position measurements, allowed for an event-by-event identification of the transmitted nuclei. Transmitted nuclei and their β decays were measured using the β counting system consisting of four Si PIN detectors and a double-sided Si strip detector. β-delayed neutrons were measured in coincidence with β-decay precursor using neutron emission ratio observer (NERO) detector consisting of 60 proportional gas counter tubes embedded in polyethylene moderator matrix. The γ rays were measured with SeGA Ge detectors. Measured isotopic half-lives and delayed neutron emission probabilities Isotopic half-life was measured by 2009Pe06 from least-squares fit and maximum likelihood method of time differences of implantations and correlated β decay events.
