Identification of {sup 166}Pt and {sup 167}Pt

Journal Article · · Physical Review, C
In a series of {sup 78}Kr bombardments of {sup 92}Mo the new isotopes {sup 166}Pt and {sup 167}Pt were identified via their {alpha}-decay properties. The {alpha}-decay energies and half-lives of these two nuclides are as follows. (1) {sup 166}Pt, {ital E}{sub {alpha}} = 7110(15) keV, {ital T}{sub 1/2} = 0.3(1) ms, and (2) {sup 167}Pt, {ital E}{sub {alpha}} = 6988(10) keV, {ital T}{sub 1/2} = 0.7(2) ms. Also, the half-life of {sup 168}Pt, which was previously unknown, was determined to be 2.0(4) ms. In a separate but concurrent experiment involving {sup 78}Kr + {sup 96}Ru reactions, {sup 170}Pt was made and a half-life of 14.7(5) ms was measured for it; the one published value is 6{sub {minus}2}{sup +5} ms. Results for {sup 162{minus}164}Os contained in the same data sets were also analyzed and by using mother-daughter correlations, the {alpha} branches of {sup 162,163,164}Os were established to be near 100{percent}. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
