General Comments:

1997Be70 (also 1995CzZZ report): 117Tc produced in Be(238U,F), E=750 MeV/nucleon reaction and identification by time-of-flight at GSI. α total of three events were observed

2008Be33: 117Tc produced in 9Be(136Xe,X),E=1 GeV/nucleon, measured production σ at GSI

2011Ni01: 117Tc nuclide produced in Be(238U,F) reactions at E=345 MeV/nucleon produced by the cascade operation of the RBIF complex of accelerators at RIKEN. Target=550 mg/cm2. Identification of 117Tc made on the basis of magnetic rigidity, time-of-flight and energy loss. The separated nuclei were implanted in a nine-layer double-sided silicon-strip detector (DSSSD). Correlations were recorded between the heavy ions and β rays. The half-life of 117Tc isotope was measured from the correlated ion-β decay curves and maximum likelihood analysis technique. In the analysis of the decay curve, β-detection efficiency, background rate, daughter and granddaughter (including those populated in delayed neutron decays) half-lives, and β-delayed neutron emission probabilities were considered. Comparison of measured half-lives with FRDM+QRPA and KTUY+GT2 calculations

2015Lo04: 117Tc nuclide produced at RIBF-RIKEN facility in 9Be(238U,F) reaction at E=345 MeV/nucleon with an average intensity of 6×1010 ions/s. Identification of 117Tc was made by determining atomic Z and mass-to-charge ratio α/Q, where Q=charge state of the ions. The selectivity of ions was based on magnetic rigidity, time-of-flight and energy loss. The separated nuclei were implanted at a rate of 50 ions/s in a stack of eight double-sided silicon-strip detector (WAS3ABi), surrounded by EURICA array of 84 HPGe detectors. Correlations were recorded between the implanted ions and β rays. The half-life of 117Tc isotope was measured from the correlated ion-β decay curves and maximum likelihood analysis technique as described in 2014Xu07. Comparison of measured half-lives with FRDM+QRPA, KTUY+GT2 and DF3+CQRPA theoretical calculations
