218AC c  1970Bo13: measured E|a, I|a, hindrance factors, half-life of decay
218AC2c  of {+222}Pa
218AC c  1979Sc09: measured E|a, half-life of decay of {+222}Pa
218AC c  2019Mi08: {+222}Pa activities obtained from the |a-decay
218AC2c  chains starting from {+226}Np or in {+181}Ta({+48}Ca,X),E=212, 217, 226
218AC3c  MeV at the UNILAC accelerator of GSI facility. Evaporation residues
218AC4c  (ERs) were separated by the SHIP velocity filter and implanted into the
218AC5c  COMPAct Spectroscopy Set-up (COMPASS), consisting of silicon detectors.
218AC6c  Measured energy and time spectra of correlations between ERs and |a
218AC7c  particles from subsequent decays; deduced E|a and half-lives of decays
218AC8c  of {+222}Pa and {+218}Ac.

218AC cA E$From 1970Bo13. Uncertainty is not given by the authors, but
218AC2cA expected to be |?20 keV, based on data for other isotopes in
218AC3cA the paper. Only one |a of 8210 keV was observed by 1979Sc09.
218AC4cA In 2019Mi08, two main peaks were reported at 8.63 and 8.47 MeV, and
218AC5cA a third one at 8.31 MeV. It appears that |a energies are about 100
218AC6cA keV higher in 2019Mi08, as compared to those in 1970Bo13. Note that
218AC7cA statistics are much weaker in 2019Mi08 as compared to those
218AC8cA in 1970Bo13
