239CM D  Modified by E. Browne (March 2002).
239CM C  QA=7420 KEV, systematic value for 243CF GS decay (2012WA38)
239CM2C  suggests that the observed 7170- and 7060-KEV ALPHAS feed
239CM3C  levels in 239CM at about 130 and 242 KEV, respectively.
239CM D  The ALPHA decay pattern suggested by 1967FI04 is not consistent with
239CM2D  systematics of the 1/2[631] band; see, for example, 239PU ALPHA decay
239CM3D  and 241CM A DECAY. We expect from these syst ALPHA branches of AP 18%
239CM4D  and AP 12% to the 3/2+ and 5/2+ levels of the 1/2[631] band,
239CM5D  respectively, and no significant A's at energies above
239CM6D  that of the favored 7060A.
239CM CA HF        Using R0(239CM)=1.493, average of R0(238CM)=1.490 20 and
239CM2CA R0(240CM)=1.495 12 (1998AK04).

239CM CA           Not seen by 1967SI08. It may have been obscured in their
239CM2CA spectrum by the presence of the 7.22-MEV ALPHA from 244CF.

239CM CA HF$the ALPHA HF is low for J=1/2 (compare HF=2.7 and 2.5 for the
239CM2CA favored transitions in the A DECAY of 239PU and 241CM, respectively)
239CM3CA suggesting that the ALPHA branch for 243CF is <14%,
239CM4CA as estimated in 1967SI08.
