Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 34
Nuclear spectroscopic information for experimentally investigated nuclides of mass 34 (Ne, Na, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, K, Ca) has been evaluated. The principal sources of the Adopted Levels presented for nuclides close to the stability line are Endt's evaluations (1990En08, 1978En02). The data sets for reactions and decays, including all available gamma-ray data, are based mostly on the original literature. There are no data available for the excited states in {sup 34}Ne and {sup 34}Na. The existence of the {sup 34}K and {sup 34}Ca nuclides has been searched and reported in a secondary publication but no evidence was found for their detection. Both nuclides are possible candidates for one or two-proton emission. Only upper limits of half-lives have been proposed based on expected cross sections. Decay schemes for the {beta} decays of {sup 34}Ne, {sup 34}Na, {sup 34}Mg, and {sup 34}Si are not known. Very little information is available for {beta}-delayed neutron decays of {sup 35}Na, {sup 35}Mg and {sup 35}Si which lead to population of levels in A = 34 nuclides. Neutron-rich nuclides in this mass region are relevant to 'island of inversion'.
