General Comments:

Identification:

1973Es02: 244Es produced by 233U(15N,4n) reaction at the Berkeley, HILAC. The isotope was studied using α particle spectroscopy consisting of a series of Si-Au surface barrier detectors

Theoretical studies:

2017So11: Calculated α decay half-life

2015Gh03: Calculated β-delayed fission half-life

2009Mo18: Calculated fission barrier heights

1997Mo25: Calculated partial half-lives for α and β decays

1995Mo29: Calculated deformations parameters

Q-value: ΔQ-=-270, ΔSN=280, ΔSP=210, ΔQA=100 (syst, 2017Wa10)

Alpha and electron capture branchings were derived by 1973Es02 from α counts from 244Es and from 244Cf decays, assuming that 244Cf decays 100% by α.
