162TA c  1996Pa01: produced as |a decay product of {+170}Ir, which was produced
162TA2c  in the {+106}Cd({+70}Ge,3p3n) reaction with E({+70}Ge)=354 MeV. The
162TA3c  reaction products were separated in flight using the Daresbury recoil
162TA4c  mass separator and were implanted in a double-sided silicon-strip
162TA5c  detector (energy resolution|<20 keV). Position and time
162TA6c  correlations between the parent and daughter nuclides were
162TA7c  determined. E|a and T{-1/2} were reported.
162TA c  1992Me10: {+166}Re was produced in the {+141}Pr({+32}S,7n) reaction,
162TA2c  with E({+32}S)=235 MeV. The beam energy was degraded using Ta foils to
162TA3c  measure excitation functions from |?175 to |?204 MeV. The reaction
162TA4c  products were collected using a He-jet system with a fast
162TA5c  tape transport. The samples were counted using a 450-mm{+2}
162TA6c  surface-barrier |a detector mounted between a |gX and a 70% |g
162TA7c  detector. Reported T{-1/2}, E|a, E|g, I|g.
162TA c  1984Sc06: {+166}Re produced in the {+144}Sm({+27}Al,5n) reaction, with
162TA2c  E({+27}Al) between 130 and 155 MeV. Recoil nuclei were collected and
162TA3c  transported using a He-jet and a fast tape-transport system. |a's were
162TA4c  studied with a 300 mm{+2}|*100 |mm-thick Si surface-barrier detector.
162TA5c  Reported T{-1/2} and E|a.
162TA c  1982De11: produced by {+63}Cu bombardment of enriched targets of
162TA2c  {+107}Ag, {+109}Ag, {+108}Cd, {+110}Cd, {+113}In, {+112}Sn and
162TA3c  {+116}Sn. Beam energy was degraded using Ni foils to a range from 245
162TA4c  to 300 MeV. The reaction products were transported using a He-jet,
162TA5c  fast-transport system. |a's were measured using a Si surface-barrier
162TAxc  detector. Measured E|a.
162TA c  1978Sc26: {+166}Re produced in the {+93}Nb({+84}Kr,|a7n) and
162TA2c  {+89}Y({+84}Kr,7n) reactions, with E({+84}Kr)=5.6 MeV/u and
162TA3c  E({+86}Kr)=7.03 MeV/u. The beam energies were reduced using Ti
162TA4c  degrader foils. The reaction products were transported using a He-jet
162TA5c  transport system. The activities were counted using three Si
162TA6c  surface-barrier detectors, one in a multiscaling mode. Reported
162TAxc  T{-1/2} and E|a.
162TA c  1984Sc06 suggest that the assignment of an |a activity having E|a=5495
162TA2c  {I10} to {+166}Re by 1978Sc26 is incorrect, reporting instead E|a=5372
162TA3c  {I10}. This calls into question the assignment of the |a activity to
162TA4c  {+166}Re as reported by 1982De11, since 1984Sc06 suggest that they may
162TA5c  have based their assignment on that of 1978Sc26. However, subsequent
162TA6c  studies, especially 1996Pa01, have shown that the E|a value to be
162TA7c  associated with the {+166}Re decay is not as low as 5372 keV but is
162TA8c  greater than 5500 keV, thus invalidating the assignment by 1984Sc06.
162TA9c  Note also, however, that 1996Pa01 report that E|a=5518 {I5} for the
162TAKc  {+165}Re decay. Thus, |a energy alone is not sufficient to provide a
162TASc  unique mass assignment from the earlier studies; and the T{-1/2}
162TANc  values for {+166}Re and {+165}Re are quite similar. The possibility
162TAJc  thus exists that the T{-1/2} and E|a values from these earlier studies
162TAFc  (1978Sc26,1982De11) may have been affected by the presence of {+165}Re
162TALc  in the samples. Here, however, we have included the data from these
162TAxc  studies as reported.
