Discovery of a 7. 6-hour high-spin isomer of einsteinium-256

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7181421
A 7.6-hour, beta-emitting isomer of /sup 256/Es has been produced via the (t,p) reaction by bombarding /sup 254g/Es with 16-MeV tritons. No evidence for an alpha branch was found. A number of gamma rays were observed, on the basis of which a partial decay scheme is proposed. It is concluded that the isomer has spin 7 or 8.
