245CM c  1976Ah03: {+245}Bk was produced from the irradiation of {+243}Am with
245CM2c  34 MeV |a particles at the Argonne 152 cm cyclotron. The chemically
245CM3c  mass separated {+245}Bk was then processed into a thin source.
245CM4c  The electron capture decay of {+245}Bk was investigated by measuring
245CM5c  the gamma-rays and conversion-electron spectra with Ge(Li) and
245CM6c  Si(Li) detectors, respectively. Measured T{-1/2} of {+245}Bk, E|g,
245CM7c  I|g, E(ce), Ice, ce|g-coin. Deduced levels, multipolarity, J|p and
245CM8c  log{Ift}
245CM c  1975Ya03: {+245}Bk was produced from the {+241}Am(|a,x) reaction at
245CM2c  the Argonne 60-in cyclotron. The conversion electron spectra from the
245CM3c  chemically separated {+245}Bk were measured with a cooled Si(Li)
245CM4c  detector. The |g rays were detected with a NaI(Tl) detector.
245CM5c  Measured T{-1/2} of 356-keV level by |g-ce delayed coin.
245CM c  1956Ch77: {+245}Bk was produced from the {+243}Am(|a,2n) and
245CM2c  {+244}Cm(|a,p2n) reactions at the Crocker Laboratory. The gammas were
245CM3c  measured with a thallium-activated sodium iodide crystal detector and
245CM4c  x-rays were detected using a xenon-filled proportional counter. The
245CM5c  electron spectrum in coincidence with K x-rays was observed with an
245CM6c  anthracene scintillation crystal. Deduced decay scheme.
245CM c  1956Ma32: {+245}Bk was produced from the {+244}Cm(d,n) and
245CM2c  {+243}Am(|a,2n) reactions at the Argonne 60-in. cyclotron. Conversion
245CM3c  electrons were measured with electron spectrometer, and the gammas
245CM4c  were detected with a NaI detector. Measured ratios of conversion
245CM5c  electron to K x-rays. Intensities of the x-rays were measured with the
245CM6c  NaI detector.
245CM c  1979Ah01: The electron spectrum was measured with a cooled Si(Li)
245CM2c  spectrometer and the photon spectrum measured with Ge(Li) diodes.
245CM3c  From the measured intensities of K-Auger electrons and K x-rays,
245CM2c  K-shell fluorescence yield for Cm was deduced: |w(K)=97.1% {I6}

245CM c  Using program RADLST, the evaluator has calculated from the decay
245CM2c  scheme, x-ray intensities as follows: K|a{-2}| x ray=35.1 {I22},
245CM3c  K|a{-1}| x ray=55 {I4}, K|b| x ray=27.9 {I18}. These values are
245CM4c  compared with experimental results (1976Ah03) of K|a{-2}| x ray=35.0
245CM5c  {I24}, K|a{-1}| x ray=54.0 {I34}, and (K|b{-1}'| x ray=20.5 {I15} +
245CM6c  K|b{-2}'|x ray=7.3 {I5})= 27.8 {I16}. This agreement confirms the
245CM7c  quality of the data and the consistency of the decay scheme.
