Q(β-)=1700 keV SYS(n)= 4970 keV SYS(p)= 4910 keV SYQ(α)= 6230 keV SY
Reference: 2017WA10

General Comments:

1955Ch30, 1981Lo15: assignment in 255Es(n,γ),E=thermal followed by chemical separation, parent of 256Fm (the growth and decay of SF activity from 256Fm were observed).

1984Br14, 1980Br02: 254Es(t,pF),E=11-17 MeV; measured (fragment)(fragment)-coin spectra, deduced fission yield, first barrier height

Theoretical calculations: consult the Nuclear Science References (NSR) database for about 15 theory references.

Q-value: Estimated uncertainties (2017Wa10): 100 for Q(β-) and S(n), 220 for S(p) and Q(α)

Q-value: S(2n)=10950 100, S(2p)=11780 310 (syst,2017Wa10)

Only the β- decay mode is observed. The theoretical calculations by 1997Mo25 give T1/2(α)=1×1010 s for α partial half-life.
E(level): Only the β- decay mode is observed. The theoretical calculations by 1997Mo25 give T1/2(α)=1×1010 s for α partial half-life.
