Calculations:

Ground state properties: 1997Mo25, 1995Mo29, 2004Pa40

Single-particle Nilsson levels: 1994Cw02, 2004Pa40

Half-lives for α and β decay: 1997Mo25

1994Cw02 have calculated the following single-particle level sequence: g.s., 1/2[521]; 0.29 MeV, 7/2[514]; 0.44 MeV, 7/2[633]; 0.51 MeV, 9/2[624]; 0.83 MeV, 3/2[521].

Q-value: 2012Wa38: Estimated ΔQ(β-)=32, ΔS(n)=134, ΔS(p)=32

Additional Level Data and Comments:

E(level)Jπ(level)T1/2(level)Comments
     60   E(level): From 257Lr α decay.
   1000   Strong γ rays are observed at 394.2 and 453.5 keV, in coin with Md K x rays and conversion electrons between 40 to 400 keV. The two γ rays are not in mutual coincidence (2011An13).
