General Comments:

First identification of 193Rn nuclide by 2006An36.

193Rn produced and identified in 144Sm(52Cr,3n) reaction at E=252 MeV; 144SmF3 rotating target onto a carbon backing. UNILAC heavy-ion facility at GSI, with SHIP velocity filter for separating evaporation residues.

Detector system: Several different types of detectors were used: The decays of the evaporation residues were measured by implanting residues in a thick 16-strip position-sensitive silicon detector (PSSD) with a typical FWHM ≈ 20 keV for α particles in 6-8 MeV range. An array of six silicon detectors of similar shape (BOX detectors), mounted upstream of PSSD detector, was used to measure the energies of α, β and conversion electrons. Three thin time-of-flight detectors in front of the PSSD and BOX detectors permitted identification of reaction products from the scattered beam particles; and distinction between the decay events and implantation events through anti-coincidence technique. An additional thick Si detector was installed as a veto detector behind the PSSD detector in an anti-coincidence mode. This allowed distinction between the decays and the punch-through events (from high-energy protons and α particles produced in the reactions on the carbon backing). For γ rays, a four-fold segmented ’Clover’ Ge detector was used behind the PSSD detectors for prompt and delayed γ(residues) coin and/or αγ coin measurements.

Measured α, γ, αγ coin, α(residues) coin, γ(residues) coin. Results are also discussed in 2007An19.

Q-value: S(n)=9060 (1997Mo25 - calculated value).

From systematics of decays of odd-A Rn isotopes, the decay pattern of 193Rn is found to be different from higher mass Rn isotopes, which, according to 2006An36, suggests a possible prolate deformed shape for this nucleus.
