The disintegration of Tella was studied with the help of magnetic spectrometers and scintillation counters. Two half-lives were observed (one of 4.7 plus or minus 0.3 days and one of 16 hours). These represent the decay from two isomeric states. The isomeric transition was not observed because of the strong competition from the decay to states of Sb/sup 119/ The 4.7-day disintegration occurred by electron capture and exhibited gamma rays of the following energies: 0.153, 0.270, were observed: (2.12, 0.270), (1.22, 0.930, 0.153), (1.10, 0.270). The K/(L + M) ratio for the line at 0.153 Mev was 7.85 and for the line at 0.270 Mev, 5.77. The 16-hr isomer exhibited positions of end- point energy 0.627 Mev; and two gamma rays of energy 1.76 and 0.645 Mev. A disintegration scheme is given. (auth)
