General Comments:

Adapted from the evaluation of 220Bi by B. Singh and M. Birch (McMaster University) on May 15, 2011 and the XUNDL dataset of 2016Ca25 and 2017Ca12 compiled by B. Singh on August 14, 2017

2017Ca12,2016Ca25: 220Bi was produced by fragmentation of E=1 GeV/nucleon 238U beam from SIS-18 synchrotron at GSI on a 9Be target of thickness 1.6 g/cm2. Reaction products were separated, identified by GSI Fragment Separator (FRS) using Bρ-ΔE-Bρ technique, and implanted into a stack of double-sided silicon strip detectors SIMBA. Measured implant-β time correlation. Deduced T1/2. Comparison with theoretical calculations.

2010Al24: 220Bi nuclide was produced via 9Be(238U,X) reaction with a beam energy of 1 GeV/nucleon produced by the SIS synchrotron at GSI facility on a 2500 mg/cm2 9Be target. The fragment residues were analyzed with the high resolving power magnetic spectrometer Fragment separator (FRS). The identification of nuclei was made on the basis of magnetic rigidity, velocity, time-of-flight, energy loss and atomic number of the fragments using two plastic scintillators and two multisampling ionization chambers. The FRS magnet was tuned to center on 210Au, 216Pb, 219Pb, 227At and 229At nuclei along the central trajectory of FRS. Measured σ, yields.

Structure calculations:

2019Mo01: calculated β-delayed neutron emsission probabilites, T1/2, spins

2009Go27: used the statistical approach and the combined dynamical statistical approach to calculate fission rate, and dependence of fission probability and average prescission multiplicities of neutrons, protons and α particles during the fission process

2003Bo06: Calculated T1/2 using shell model and quasiparticle RPA.

2003Bo48: Used microscopic models to calculate T1/2.

Q-value: ΔQ(β-)=300, ΔS(n)=360, ΔS(p)=500, ΔQ(α)=420 (syst,2021Wa16)

Q-value: S(2n)=8400 300, S(2p)=17330 500, Q(β-n)=210 300 (syst,2021Wa16)
