α decay of the neutron-deficient isotope At 190

Journal Article · · Physical Review. C

The alpha decay of the neutron-deficient 190At isotope was observed following the 103Rh(90Zr, 3n) 190At reaction at Argonne National Laboratory. The reaction products were separated from the beam using the Argonne Gas-Filled Analyzer and implanted into a double-sided Si strip detector. The spatial and temporal correlations between implanted nuclei and subsequent α decays towards the known daughter isotope 186Bi were used to identify and characterize 190At nuclei. In this paper, two possible decay scenarios are proposed for the 190At → 186Bi decay.
