Q(β-)=-2480 keV 80S(n)= 6270 keV 80S(p)= 2350 keV 80Q(α)= 8810 keV SY
Reference: 2017WA10

References:
  A  260Db α decay (1.52 S) 

General Comments:

No new experimental references since the 2017 update (2017Si08) of 256Lr. In the present update, an incorrect reference 2014Sa01 for the half-life of the g.s. of 256Lr has been corrected to 2014Sa21, and some other very minor changes have been made.

1965Do10: 256Lr produced and identified in 243Am(18O,5n), E=96 MeV reaction, followed by the measurement of an α-decay chain, and half-life.

Later studies of 256Lr decay: 1968Fl08, 1970Dr08, 1971Es01, 1976BeZY, 2008An16, 2014Sa21.

2012Mi27: mass measurement by time-of-flight ion-cyclotron-resonance method using SHIPTRAP at GSI.

Theoretical calculations: consult the Nuclear Science References (NSR) database for 33 primary references, mostly dealing with half-life in α decay and cluster decays.

Q-value: Estimated uncertainty=100 for Q(α) (2017Wa10)

Q-value: S(2n)=14270 310, S(2p)=6280 130 (syst,2017Wa10)

The α decay/ε decay ratio has been estimated approximately only. The authors of 1968Fl08 deduced the ε branch as about 30%, if the 8.42-MeV α group in their spectrum is from the ε decay daughter, 256No. Presumably, the 8.43-MeV α of 256Lr was not considered; therefore, this branching should be an upper limit. In authors’ other paper, 1968Fl01, the authors stated that it was impossible to determine the branching from their data. The authors of 1971Es01 set an upper limit of 20% for an ε branch. It was established by 1976BeZY that 256Lr does decay by electron capture; however, its branching was not determined. %ε=15 10, %α=85 10 is recommended here.
