STUDIES OF RARE EARTH ALPHA EMITTERS

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D
A series of bombardments using alpha particles from the Berkeley 60-inch cyclotron on rare earth oxides has resulted in the discovery and mass assignment of two new alpha-emitting isotopes, Dy/sup 153/(5 hr) and Dy/sup 154/ (13 hr). Mass assignanents have been made for two other alpha emitters, Dy/sup 154// (2.3 hr) and Tb/sup 151/ (19 hr). A new 10-hr electroncapture isotope has been identified as Dy/sup 155/. Evidence is also presented for the discovery of another isotope,Dy/sup 149/ (8 min), which was produced by a N/sup 14/ ion bombardment on praseodymium. (auth)
