Ba$sup 131$m--A NEW ISOMER

Journal Article · · Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys.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 new isomer of Ba/sup 131/ with a half life of 14.5 min has been produced by the reaction Cs/sup 133/(p,3n)Ba/sup 131m/. The mass assignment has been made by excitation functions and from cross bombardments using the reaction I/sup 127/(Li/sup 7/,3n)Ba/sup 131m/ The isomer decays by emission of a 106 plus or minus 4 kev gamma ray. The growth of the Ba/sup 131/ ground-state gamma rays has been observed, consistent with a 14.5-min parent. No decay (<0.1%) has been observed directly to Cs/sup 131/. (auth)
