Erbium oxide enriched to 35.1% in the mass number 164 was irradiated with 17 and 24 Mev alpha particles. An activity decaying by electron capture with a half-life of (17.7 plus or minus 0.2) min was produced and its assignment to Yb/sup 167/ confirmed by the identification of the thulium K x ray and the well-known daughter activity of Tm/sup 167/. Gamma rays with energies of Yb/sup 167/. Gamma-gamma coincidence measurements were performed on the observed radiations. Transition probabilities, multipole order admixtures, and electron capture branching ratios were calculated. Approximately 89% of the electron capture transitions occurred to the 292.7kev (7/2-) level of Tm/sup 167/. (auth)
