Measurements of Q/sub. beta. / for neutron-deficient nuclei with A approx. 80

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5907331
The isotope /sup 80/Y, T/sub 1/2// = 34 sec was observed, and a general investigation of the decay properties of several nuclei in this region was carried out. Measurements of the total decay energy of /sup 80/Y and neighboring nuclides serve to explore the interplay between the mass surface and the extent of nuclear deformation as well as providing the first definitive checks of mass theory predictions in this region. The half-lives, gamma ray energies and relative intensities in the decays of /sup 79/Sr and /sup 80/Y and the /sup 80/Y decay scheme are given. Also the Q/sub EC/ was found. 10 references. (JFP)
