Title: Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 228

Journal Article · · Nucl. Data Sheets

The experimental data for nuclei in the mass chain A = 228 have been examined, and the results summarized. Where possible, the results are presented in pictorial form. The text contains tables of adopted levels and properties, tables of radiations, comments which point out deficiencies or inconsistencies in the data, and a reference list. For those cases where only tentative or partial decay schemes are given, the reader is encouraged to contact the compiler for more specific detail. Structure information is relatively sparse except for the {sup 228}Th nucleus. Except where noted, Q-values have been adopted from 74WaBG. Data for the decay of the ground states of the A = 232 isotopes have been taken from 70Sc37 since there has been little modification except for the half-life of {sup 232}Pu (see 73Ja06) and alpha decay of {sup 232}U (see 71So15) and 72Go33). Data on the alpha decay of A = 228 nuclei have been taken from the compilation for A = 224 (this issue) by Y. A. Ellis. In the drawings, transition intensities per 100 decays of the parent are given. The compilation has been prepared by computer from data sets entered by the compilers into the Evaluated Nuclear Structure Data File (ENSDF). Corrections or additions to the content of this compilation should be addressed to the compiler for inclusion in the ENSDF. (auth)
