 91RU C  91RH SOURCE produced in the {+58}Ni({+36}Ar{+10+},p2n) reaction;
 91RU2C  E=235 MeV beam degraded to AP 121 MEV near target center using a set of
 91RU3C  TA degraders of varying thicknesses in the beam line in order to
 91RU4C  capitalize on the maximum cross-section of 11 |mb for this reaction
 91RU5C  channel as calculated by ^HIVAP code.  Nuclei recoiling out of the
 91RU6C  target were stopped and neutralized by 500 mbar of purified Ar gas
 91RU7C  inside a cell.  Reaction products were ionized selectively, according
 91RU8c  to Z, using two dye lasers tuned to the resonant atomic transitions
 91RU9C  of RH or RU, thereby enhancing strongly the ionization and subsequent
 91RUAC  extraction of those nuclei and improving the statistical quality of
 91RUBC  |g spectra resulting from their decay. The laser-ionized nuclei were
 91RUCC  guided toward the ^LISOL mass separator by a sextupole ion guide.
 91RUDC  Measured EG, IG, GG COIN, |b|g (coin), I(|e+|b), isotope ^T{-1/2} with
 91RUEC  two HPGe detectors arranged in a compact configuration around
 91RUFC  |b-sensitive plastic |DE detectors that enclosed a tape station.
 91RUGC  SHELL-MODEL CALCULATIONS (FOR JPI LE 15/2+ AND E<1500).
 91RU CE TI        2004DE40 calculated |b-feeding to 91RH GS and excited states
 91RU2CE using the 511 keV annihilation line. Since all I(511G) that could
 91RU3CE not be associated with |g events visible in the |g-ray spectra were
 91RU4CE attributed to GS |b feeding, branching to weakly populated states and
 91RU5CE to LEVELS emitting |g-rays outside the 4 MeV |g-energy range may have
 91RU6CE been wrongly included in the GS branch, resulting in an underestimate
 91RU7CE of branching to some excited states.
 91RU CE LOGFT     Values should probably be regarded as lower limits; the large
 91RU2CE Q VALUE suggests the possibility of significant unobserved feeding
 91RU3CE to highly excited states whose deexcitation may reduce the intensity
 91RU4CE imbalance at lower-lying levels; the possible presence of G-RAYS
 91RU5CE with EG outside the 4-MEV experimental energy window further increases
 91RU6CE the uncertainty in deduced intensity imbalances.  See ALSO THE COMMENT
 91RU7CE ON TI. LOGFT VALUES ASSUME AN UNCERTAINTY OF 400 IN Q FROM SYSTEMATICS.

 91RH CP QP        9440 400 FROM SYSTEMATICS (2012WA38).
 91RH CP J         A GS JPI=9/2+ is favored by systematics and
 91RH2CP is tentatively adopted by 2004De40. Such an assignment is
 91RH3CP consistent with |b feedings to levels in 91RU.
 91RH CP T         measured using a macrocycle of
 91RH2CP beam-on followed by a beam-off period with on/off times chosen to
 91RH3CP suit the expected half-life of the isotope studied. A time-to-digital
 91RH4CP converter was started at the beginning of each macrocycle,
 91RH5CP recording the time of each triggered event relative to the start.
 91RH6CP Except for the 533G, half-lives based on the time
 91RH7CP behavior of each G were determined. The
 91RH8CP half-life assigned to 91RH ground-state decay is the weighted
 91RH9CP average of the values for the 890G and 973G, 1.40 S 33 and
 91RHACP 1.52 s 29, respectively.

 91RU CG E         This transition, with half-life of 1.46 S 11,
 91RU2CG is not seen in the |b-gated spectra of 2004De40,
 91RU3CG with or without lasers. It is, however, a strong line in the singles
 91RU4CG spectra, but only when the lasers are tuned to Rh. The authors
 91RU5CG conclude that this is evidence of an isomeric transition in either
 91RU6CG 91RH or 91RU, the former being fed directly in the heavy-ion
 91RU7CG reaction or the latter being populated through the decay of 91RH.
