184TA c  Source produced by {+186}W(p,3p), E(p)=92 (97% {+186}W target), 200 MeV
184TA2c  ({+nat}W target); Ge(Li) detector (FWHM=1.2 at 122 keV, 1.9 keV at 1332
184TA3c  keV), NaI detector, plastic scin (FWHM|?16%); chemically-separated
184TA4c  source; measured E|g, I|g, |g|g coin, E|b, |b-|g coin.
184TA cB E         From |b|g coincidence (plastic scintillator).
184TA cB IB        Assuming I|b(228+453+617)=100 since negligible |b{+-} feeding
184TA2cB to 0, 48, 89 or 272 levels is expected.
184TA cG M         From the intensity balance except where noted.
184TA cL E         From E|g.
184TA cL J         From Adopted Levels.
184TA cL E(A)$The order of 47.9|g, 41.4|g, and 139.1|g has not been established
184TA2cL experimentally so the energies of the 48 and 89 levels may differ
184TA3cL from those shown here.

184TA cN NR        1973Wa18 report absolute abundances derived from the
184TA2cN growth and decay of the {+184}Ta daughter. The granddaughter abundances
184TA3cN were taken as I|g(111)=0.247 {I35}, I|g(253)=0.48 {I6}, and
184TA4cN I|g(414)=0.85 {I9}. These are from 4% - 18% higher than those adopted
184TA5cN here for {+184}Ta decay. The {+184}Ta half-life (8.55 h) used by
184TA6cN 1973Wa18 is about 2% lower than the value adopted in this evaluation.
184TA7cN The two discrepancies have opposing effects on the normalization
184TA8cN making the correction difficult. Multipolarities can be deduced for
184TA9cN E|g<150 transitions based on |a(exp) (or their limits) deduced using
184TABcN I(|g+ce) balance arguments, measured I(K| x ray) and the authors' I|g
184TACcN assuming none is M2 or higher. The decay scheme was then renormalized
184TADcN assuming 181|g and 345|g are E1, by requiring total I|b=100% and
184TAEcN constraining the feeding to g.s., 48, 89 and 272 levels to zero
184TAFcN (|DJ=(5) and (3), respectively, to g.s. and 48 level,
184TAGcN I|b{+-}(89)|<1.6% for log| {If{+1u}t}|>8.5, and |b{+-} feeding to the
184TAHcN 272 level should be highly hindered due to cancellation of matrix
184TAIcN elements for this proposed 0+ to (0-) transition (1973Wa18)). A less
184TAxcN precise normalization factor of 0.87 {I22} can be obtained from
184TAxcN |S(I(|g+ce) to g.s.)=100%.
