Nuclear Data Sheets for A=82☆

The evaluators present in this publication spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reactions studies for all isobars, Z=28(Ni) to Z=42(Mo), with mass number A=82. For {sup 82}Ni not much is known other than its identification. Most of the new data, i.e., after the last NDS (2003Tu03), are based on compilations included in XUNDL. Contributions of the various compilers in XUNDL are gratefully acknowledged.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 239

Spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented here for all nuclei with mass number A=239. In general, a relatively small amount of new data on this mass chain has been reported since the previous evaluation in 2003. However, special evaluations, such as ''Database of prompt gamma rays from slow neutron–capture from elemental analysis'' (2007ChZX), have provided additional precise data for levels in 29 U. Also, new Coulomb excitation measurements in 239 Pu have extended the knowledge of the 1/2[631] rotational band up to Jπ=(55/2+)Jπ=(55/2+), and that of the octupole vibrational band up to Jπ=(53/2-)Jπ=(53/2-). For historical knowledge it is worth mentioning the report on the “Discovery of isotopes of the transuranium elements with 93 <= Z <= 98'' (2013Fr02), where the information for elements Np, Pu, Am, and Cf with mass number A=239 is presented. The alpha hindrance factors (HF) presented in this evaluation were calculated using values of the radius parameter (r 0 ) interpolated from those for even–even adjacent nuclei given by 1998Ak04.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 235

Spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented here for all nuclei with mass number A=235. The highlight of this evaluation consists of the precise and comprehensive Coulomb excitation study (2012Wa35) on {sup 235}U, which in addition to the 7/2[743] ground state rotational band, extended the 1/2[631], 5/2[622], 5/2[752], and 3/2[631] rotational bands up to Jπ=53/2+, 49/2+, 441/2−, and 43/2+, respectively. This evaluation presents a study (2010Hu02) of the {sup 237}Np({sup 116}Sn, {sup 118}Snγ) reaction where the ground state rotational band 5/2[642] was observed up to Jπ=(53/2+). It is worth for historical knowledge to mention the report on the “Discovery of isotopes of the transuranium elements with 93≤Z≤98” (2013Fr02), where the information for elements Np, Pu, and Am with mass number A=235 is given. {sup 235}Cf has not been observed. The alpha hindrance factors (HF) presented in this evaluation were calculated using values of the radius parameter (r{sub 0}) interpolated from those for even–even adjacent nuclei given by 1998Ak04.
