Sonzogni$CIT=NDS 93, 599 (2001)$CUT=1-Dec-2000$ 148SM P 0.0 0+ 7E+15 Y 2 1986.0 12 144ND N 1.0 144ND C T1/2(148SM)=8E+15 Y 2 was measured by 1968KO06, 7E+15 Y 3 by 1970GU14. 144ND2C The R0 parameter is calculated as 1.575 15 for T1/2=8E+15 Y 144ND3C and 1.58 3 for T1/2=7E+15 Y 3. A similar trend to the R0 144ND4C values of Er isotopes suggests R0(144ND)=1.55 3. 144ND C T1/2(148SM)=12E+15 Y 5 is obtained for R0=1.55 3 from 144ND2C calculations of R0's as a function of half-lives. Although within 144ND3C their uncertainties they agree with each other, the R0 value 144ND4C calculated by using the measured T1/2 of 1968KO06 fits the local trend 144ND5C better. 144ND C 144ND C %A=100. The nucleus 148SM is BETA stable. 144ND C 144ND CA IA ALPHA intensity per 100 A DECAYS. 144ND CA HF R0(144ND)=1.57 2 is the rounded-down value of R0 obtained by 144ND2CA using T1/2(148SM)=8E+15 Y in calculations and by requiring 144ND3CA HF(1932.3A)=1.0. 144ND L 0.0 0+ 144ND A 1932.3 12 100 1.0 144ND CA E calculated from QA(148SM)=1986.0 12. EA=1.96 MEV 2 144ND2CA (1970GU14). Other measurement: 144ND3CA EA=1.90 MEV 5 (1968KO06). 144ND CA IA only one ALPHA group was observed. An upper limit of 144ND2CA 1.2E-15 per 100 A DECAYS is calculated for an unobserved ALPHA 144ND3CA transition to the 2+ state at 696.513 KEV by requiring its hindrance 144ND4CA factor to be greater than 1.0.
