246CM c  1976Ah03: {+246}Bk was produced from the irradiation of {+243}Am with
246CM2c  34 MeV |a particles at the Argonne 152 cm cyclotron. The chemically
246CM3c  mass separated {+246}Bk was then processed into a thin source.
246CM4c  The electron capture decay of {+246}Bk was investigated by measuring
246CM5c  the gamma-rays and conversion-electron spectra with Ge(Li) and
246CM6c  Si(Li) detectors, respectively. Measured T{-1/2} of {+246}Bk, E|g,
246CM7c  I|g, E(ce), Ice, ce|g-coin, Deduced levels, multipolarity, J|p and
246CM8c  log{Ift}. See earlier report: 1966Ah02

246CM cE IE$From level scheme intensity balance, unless otherwise noted.
246CM2cE In order to generate an output from the LOGFT code, the evaluator
246CM3cE had set the E(parent)=0.0
246CM cG $The evaluator calculated the number of K-shell holes due to internal
246CM2cG conversions (0.49 {I2}) and electron captures (69 {I8}).
246CM3cG The latter was deduced from |e branchings and theoretical K/|e ratios
246CM4cG for Q+=1350 {I60} keV. Experimental K-shell fluorescence yield
246CM5cG correction of 0.971 {I6} (1979Ah01) was used in the calculation to
246CM6cG determine the total I(K| x ray)= 68 % {I8} which is in agreement
246CM7cG with the measured value 63 % {I4} by 1976Ah03

246CM c  Using program RadiationReport, the evaluator has calculated from the
246CM2c  decay scheme, x-ray intensities as follows: K|a{-2}| x ray=19.7 {I24},
246CM3c  K|a{-1} x ray=30.9 {I38}, K|b{-12} x ray=15.6 {I19}. These values are
246CM4c  compared with experimental results (1976Ah03) of K|a{-2} x ray=19.0
246CM5c  {I13}, K|a{-1} x ray=29.0 {I2}, and (K|b{-1} x ray=11.0 {I8} +
246CM6c  K|b{-2} x ray=4.0 {I3})= 15.0 {I8}. This agreement confirms the
246CM7c  quality of the data and the consistency of the decay scheme.
