Q(β-)=-4568 keV SYS(n)= 7879 keV SYS(p)= 1640 keV SYQ(α)= 9619 keV 50
Reference: 2012WA38

General Comments:

259Db activity was produced by the 241Am(22Ne,4n) reaction at E=118 MeV. The identification of 259Db is based on its genetic relationship with the known 255Lr(31 s), and it has been established by an alpha-recoiled milking measurement (2001Ga20,2002Gu33). The deduced Q(α) of 259Db from Eα=9.47 MeV (Q(α)=9.62 MeV) is in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions of Q(α)=9.60 MeV (1985Wa03), and Q(α)=9.61 MeV (1997Mo25).
