General Comments:

First identification of 138Sb nuclide by 1994Be24 via 208Pb(U,f) (See 2013Ka01)

2015Le14: Source of 138Sb was produced by in-flight fission of 238U on a 9Be target at E=345 MeV/nucleon at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory (RIBF) at the RIKEN Nishina Center. Fragments were separated by the BigRIPS separator and identified through a zero-degree spectrometer (ZDS) based on the Bρ-ΔE-tof method. Separated and selected ions were implanted into a wide-range active-silicon-strip stopper array for β and ion detector (WAS3ABi), consisting of five layers of 1-mm-thick double-sided silicon-strip detectors (DSSSDs), surrounded by two 2-mm-thick plastic scintillators. γ rays were detected by the EUROBALL-RIKEN HPGe cluster array (EURICA). Measured βγ(t), β-decay feedings. Deduced ground state half-life, J, π. Comparisons with shell-model calculations. Energy systematics of Te isotopes.

2011Ar18: 138Sb ions was prepared by bombardment of UCx target with 1 GeV protons followed by selective ionization with the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) and high-resolution mass separator at ISOLDE-CERN facility. Measured delayed neutrons to deduce half-life and Pn (delayed neutron emission probability). Comparison with calculations for spherical and nonspherical shapes. The new data incorporated in nucleosynthesis calculations of the r process.

1998Do08,1994Be24: identified in 208Pb(238U,f), E=750 MeV/nucleon, using the FRS fragment mass separator.
