General Comments:

1983Ni05: 139Gd identified in 50Cr(92Mo,n2p) reaction at E=385 MeV. OASIS. Measured protons; semi telescope. Identification based on Q(ε)-S(p)=6.5 MeV, σ=70 mb, and agreement between measured T1/2 and theoretical T1/2=6.4 s from β decay gross theory (1973Ta30) and supported by cross bombardment of 54Fe by 92Mo which produced protons in the same energy range but much lower yield.

1988WiZN: measured beta-delayed E(p), (x ray)p coin, γp coin, T1/2

1999Xi04: 106Cd(36Ar,X). Measured γγ(t), (x ray)γ(t); He-jet; half-lives, isomers, HPGe detectors. 1999Xi04 claim to have discovered two activities with nearly the same half-lives but with different spins, one a low-spin and the other a high-spin of 9/2-. However, the excitation functions obtained by 1999Xi04 for the two γ rays (115.8 and 121.6) from these two respective activities are nearly the same. Two separate decay schemes are presented but with no γ-ray intensities. In the opinion of the evaluators, sufficient details are absent to justify the existence of the two isomers.

2001BeZY (a report at Int. Conf. St. Marlo (France) in 1988): 139Gd identified in 106Cd(36Ar,2pn) and 106Cd(35Cl,pn) using SARA system and He-jet transport. The following γ rays were listed as emitted by the decay of 139Gd: 27.0, 65.0, 87.5, 116.3, 122.0, 236 and 379. Only the 27.0, 116.3 and 122.0 are present in 1999Xi04, a 26.7 and 121.6 from 4.8-s activity, and 115.8 from 5.8-s activity. The 65.0γ in 2001BeZY could be from 138Gd decay

2003Xu04: 139Gd produced in 106Cd(40Ca,α2pn),E=232 MeV reaction at Lanzhou-China accelerator facility. The β-delayed proton decay observed through the detection of 347- and 545-keV γ rays in 138Sm

All data are from 92Mo(50Cr,n2pγ), except for the ground and isomeric properties. The decay scheme of 139Tb ε decay is unknown

Gammas: In 139Tb ε decay dataset, no levels are known, only two unplaced gamma rays of 109.0 and 119.7 keV are reported.

Q-value: Estimated uncertainties (2012Wa38): ΔQ(β-)=360, ΔS(n)=280, ΔS(p)=200, ΔQ(α)=250

Q-value: Q(εp)=6580 200, S(2n)=22560 360, S(2p)=4180 200 (all from syst, 2012Wa38)

E(level): From least-squares fit to Eγ data; ΔEγ=1 keV assumed when not given.

Jπ(level): From (9/2-) for the g.s.; multipolarities determined from DCO ratios, δ values and RUL; systematics of the lighter n=75 isotones, and γ deexcitation patterns. Ascending order of spins with excitation energy is assumed from yrast type population of states in this reaction

M(γ): Mult=Q indicates stretched quadrupole (most likely E2), mult=d indicates stretched dipole (most likely M1 or M1+E2, except E1 for 616γ from 17/2+ level) from DCO ratios. Mult=M1+E2 is from measured DCO ratio, significantly large δ value and implied RUL. Mult=E2 is from DCO ratio and RUL; level lifetimes are not listed but are implied as short (in ps region) from transition quadrupole moment deduced from these measurements in 1992Pa04
