 38K  c  2015Pa32(also 2014Pa09): {+38}Ca source was produced by
 38K 2c  {+1}H({+39}K,2n) reaction with a 30 MeV/nucleon {+39}K beam provided by
 38K 3c  K500 superconducting cyclotron at Texas A&M University incident on a
 38K 4c  hydrogen gas cell. Reaction products were separated using the MARS
 38K 5c  spectrometer and nearly pure {+38}Ca beam were implanted in a tape
 38K 6c  system, collected for 1.6 seconds, moved to a shielded area and counted
 38K 7c  for 1.54 seconds with a HPGe detector for |g rays and a scintillator
 38K 8c  for positron measurements. Measured E|g, I|g, E|b, I|b, |b|g-coin.
 38K 9c  Deduced levels, |b decay branching ratios, log {Ift}. Comparisons with
 38K ac  available data and shell-model calculations.
 38K  c  1996An09: {+38}Ca source was produced by bombarding a Ti target with
 38K 2c  the 1 GeV pulsed proton beam from the PS Booster at CERN. Fragments
 38K 3c  were separated with the on-line mass separator ISOLDE and directed
 38K 4c  into a moving tape system. |g rays were detected with two Ge detectors
 38K 5c  and |b particles were detected with a thin cylindrical plastic
 38K 6c  scintillator surrounding the tape in a near 4|p geometry. Measured E|g,
 38K 7c  I|g, |g|g-coin, |b|g-coin. Deduced levels, |b decay branching ratios,
 38K 8c  log {Ift}. Comparisons with available data and shell-model
 38K 9c  calculations.
 38K  c  2015Bl02: {+38}Ca was produced by projectile fragmentation of {+40}Ca
 38K 2c  beam of 50.5 MeV/nucleon on a natural nickel target and separated by
 38K 3c  LISE3 separator at GANIL. Isotope identification was performed
 38K 4c  event-by-event using a plastic scintillator (0.45 mm thick) coupled to
 38K 5c  two photomultipliers used in coincidence to measure energy loss and
 38K 6c  time-of-flight. {+38}Ca isotopes were transported after implanting
 38K 7c  on a tape to a detection setup for decay measurements. |b particles
 38K 8c  were counted by a plastic scintillator (5 mm thick) and |g rays by a
 38K 9c  HPGe detector. Measured E|g, I|g, E|b, I|b, |b|g-coin. Deduced levels,
 38K ac  |b-decay branching ratios and |g-ray emission probabilities, log {Ift},
 38K bc  parent half-life. Comparisons with shell-model calculations.

 38K 2c  method), deduced Q value

 38K  D  THEORY: 1991Hi18
 38K  c  This decay is important from the point-of-view of superallowed
 38K 2c  (0+ to 0+) |b transition from {+38}Ca g.s. to 130.4, 0+ isomer
 38K 3c  in {+38}K.

 38K 2c  been included here since the intensities of the deexciting |g rays
 38K 3c  were given as upper limits only but which have not been reported by
