Measured (implanted ions)β^-(t), (implanted ions)β^-γ(t) and (implanted ions)γ(t) correlations, and T_1/2 of the g.s. of ¹⁵⁹Pr

2018Fu08: ¹⁵⁹Pr nuclide produced at the RIBF-RIKEN facility using the ⁹Be(²³⁸U,F) reaction with a ²³⁸U⁸⁶⁺ beam of E=345 MeV/nucleon produced by the RIBF accelerator complex. Target=⁹Be with a thickness of 2.92 mm. Nuclidic identification (PID) was made by determining the atomic number Z and mass-to-charge (α/Q) ratio of the ions using magnetic rigidity, time-of-flight, and energy loss (tof-Bρ-ΔE method) using the BigRIPS fragment separator. The time-of-flight was measured using thin plastic scintillators placed at foci of the BigRIPS. The Bρ values were deduced from trajectory reconstruction of measured position and angle of fragments at each focus using parallel plate avalanche counters (PPACs). For ΔE values, separated fragments were transported to an achromatic focus and implanted in a Si stack with 14 layers of Si PIN detectors, surrounded by four HPGe clovers for isomer tagging by detecting delayed gamma rays from known isomeric states in fission fragments. Comparison of measured cross sections with theoretical calculations using LISE⁺ abrasion-fission (AF) model.

Q-value: Estimated uncertainties (2021Wa16): 400 for Q(β^-), 500 for S(n), 570 for S(p) and Q(α).

Q-value: Q(β^-n)=4990 400, S(2n)=8480 400, S(2p)=26280 500 (syst, 2021Wa16). Q(β^-2n)=-418 400 (syst, deduced by evaluator from relevant mass excesses in 2021Wa16)
