THE $beta$-DECAY OF $sup 234$Pa(UZ)

OSTI ID:4205074
The beta and gamma ray spectra observed in the decay of UZ (6.66 hr) were investigated. Results of beta - gamma -coincidence measurements are given. Gamma-gamma-coincidences obtained with selected gamma photopeaks in a scintillation unit are discussed. A decay scheme involving 6 beta -transitions and 39 gamma -transitions is presented. It is proved that UZ is the ground state of Pa/sup 234/ with UX2 (22 plus or minus 12) kev above it. A spin of 6/ sup -/ for UZ is explained in terms of Nilsson states. (auth)
