244ES3c  MeV beam provided by 88-Inch Cyclotron at LBNL.
244ES4c  The nuclei were analyzed using Berkeley Gas-Filled Separator.
244ES5c  A focal plane Si strip detector and a Si-strip detector
244ES6c  array, with a resolution of FWHM=55 keV was used to detect the |a
244ES7c  particles. No level scheme was suggested by the authors due to the
244ES8c  absence of gamma rays. The branching for alpha decay= 58 % {I20}
244ES9c  is in contrast to the currently adopted value of 20 % {I10} (2014Ma86),
244ESac  authors (2008Ne01) speculate that the discrepancy may be due to their
244ESbc  low counting statistics.
244ES c  1973Es01: {+243}Md produced from bombarding {+12}C beam from the
244ES2c  Berkeley heavy ion accelerator onto a {+241}Am target. |a-particle
244ES3c  were observed using |a -particle spectroscopy consisting of a series
244ES4c  of seven Si-Au surface barrier detectors. Measured T{-1/2}, E|a
