General Comments:

215Th evaluated by B. Singh

1968Va18: activity was produced by 206Pb(16O,7N), E=90-160 MeV, and identified by excitation functions, genetic relationship to daughter nuclei, and agreement with α-particle energy decay systematics.

2000He17: activity was produced by 170Er(51V,p5n), E=214-286 MeV, and separated from the beam with a velocity filter. The activity was identified by excitation functions, and by its genetic relationship to daughter nuclei. Measured Eα, αγ coin. Detectors: Ge, Si.

2007Le14: 215Th produced in 182W(40Ar,X), E=191,197 MeV at JYFL, Jyvaskyla facility, RITU separator, GREAT spectrometer for particle detection. Measured α-particle spectrum and half-life

Q-value: S(2n)=17340 70, S(2p)=4014 22, Q(εp)=3540 10 (2012Wa38)

Additional Level Data and Comments:

% α = 100
No ε decay observed (<1.5% in 1968Va18).
E(level): No ε decay observed (<1.5% in 1968Va18).
  1421.3   E(level): From comparison of energies and half-lives of 9/2- isomers in neighboring nuclei, 9/2- is ruled out. Two possibilities have been discussed by 2005Ku31: 860.5γ may be E3 transition from 11/2+ to 1/2-, which gives half-life consistent with Weisskopf estimates; or there is a level above 1421.3 keV from which a low-energy highly converted transition is omitted. 2005Ku31 could not rule out any of these two possibilities.
Jπ(level): From comparison of energies and half-lives of 9/2- isomers in neighboring nuclei, 9/2- is ruled out. Two possibilities have been discussed by 2005Ku31: 860.5γ may be E3 transition from 11/2+ to 1/2-, which gives half-life consistent with Weisskopf estimates; or there is a level above 1421.3 keV from which a low-energy highly converted transition is omitted. 2005Ku31 could not rule out any of these two possibilities.
