Nuclear Data Sheets for A=98

Experimental spectroscopic data on nuclear structure and decay are evaluated for known nuclides of mass 98 (Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In). Detailed evaluation results of individual reactions and decays are presented together with the Adopted values that are recommended for level properties, γ and β radiations, and other spectroscopic information. 98 Mo remains as the most extensively studied nuclide via various reactions and decays. Level schemes of Sr, Y, Zr, Tc, and Pd nuclides in this mass chain are also well established to date; while Kr, Rb, Nb, Ag and Cd are amongst the least-studied ones for excited states, with only limited data available for each. On the neutron-rich side, 98 Br has been identified in the 9 Be(238U,F) reaction, but no spectroscopic data are yet available, while for 98 In on the proton-rich side, only the ground state and an isomer are known with half-lives measured but their spin-parities and the absolute level energy of the isomer yet to be determined. While 98 Ru and 98 Rh have also been extensively studied, large discrepancies exist between the high-spin sections of the proposed level schemes in different measurements, and these need to be clarified and resolved with further experimental investigations to improve the currently-adopted ones, which have been selected from the measurements with higher statistics, considering no other criteria of preference. Furthermore, this work supersedes all the earlier evaluations of A=98 (2003Si07, 1998Si18, 1992Si21, 1983Mu21, 1974Me34).

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=212

Spectroscopic data for all nuclei with mass number A=212 have been evaluated and the corresponding level schemes from radioactive decay and reaction studies are presented. Highlights from this evaluation include the first observation of 212 Hg by 2010Al24 and the first measurement of the ground state half-life by 2012Be28and 2016Ca25. The first measurement of the β - decay of 212 Tl populating excited states in 2 12 Pb has been per-formed by 2014Mo02. Knowledge of excited levels and their half-lives in 212 Po has been significantly extended in the transfer reaction studies of 2010As01, 2010As03 and 2016Ko03, 2017Ko38. A new (9 - )isomer which α decays in 212 At was observed by 2007Ku30. The level scheme of 212 Rn was significantly extended through the(HI,xnγ) reaction studies of 2009Dr12 and 2008Dr01. New levels in 212 Ra were identified in a transfer reaction experiment by 2018Pa04. Finally, the α decay of both the ground state and an isomer in 216 U populating 212 Thwas reported for the first time by 2015Ma37 and 2015De22

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=190

The evaluated experimental data are presented and evaluated for 15 known nuclides of mass 190 (Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Po). This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=190 by 2003Si05, 1990Si09, 1982Le22 and 1973Sc42. For 190Hf, only the isotopic identification has been made, with no information about the half-life of the ground state or its decay properties. For 190 Ta, only one excited state as an isomer has been identified, but with no knowledge about its decay properties. For 190 W, 190 Re, 190 Bi and 190 Po, available spectroscopic data are scarce. Here, the decay schemes of 190 Ta, 190 W, 190 Au, 190 Hg, 190 Au isomer decay, 190 Tl (both the activities), 190 Pb, and 190 Bi (both the activities) are considered incomplete by the evaluators. At present, extensive level structures, both the low-spin and high-spin, are known for 190 Os, 190 Ir, 190 Pt, 190 Au, 190 Hg, 190 Tl and 190 Pb, but data for level lifetimes, and γ-ray transition probabilities are generally lacking.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A=233

The present evaluation of the known A=233 nuclides ( 233 Fr, 233 Ra, 233 Ac, 233 Th, 233 Pa, 233 U, 233 Np, 233 Pu, 233 Am, 233 Cm) and 233 Bk represents an update and revision, after 15 years of the previous evaluation of A=233 published by B. Singh and J.K. Tuli (2005Si15). Laboratory identification of 233 Bk nuclide is still considered as tentative. Various decay and reaction data are evaluated and compared. Adopted data, levels, gammas, level half-lives, spins, parities, and configuration assignments are provided. For 233 Fr, 233 Ra, 233 Ac, 233 Pu, 233 Am and 233 Cm, information is available for the respective ground states only. The decay schemes from β - decays of 233 Fr and 233 Ra, and from ε decay of 233 Am and 233 Cm are unknown, while those from β - decay of 233 Ac, and from ε decay of 233 Np are considered incomplete. The α decay of 237 Np to 233 Pa has been studied in detail by many investigators, yet the decay scheme is considered incomplete as several very low-energy transitions are involved, without the knowledge of their intensities, resulting in mismatch of directly measured α feedings and those deduced from γ-transition intensity balances. The decay schemes from α decays of 237 Am, 237 Cm and 237 Cf to respective A=233 daughters are considered incomplete. Particle-transfer and high-spin data are available for 233 Th, 233 Pa and 233 U nuclei, which remain the most extensively studied in this mass chain. However, data for half-lives for the excited states are available only for one level in 233 Pa, and for five levels in 233 U, thus limiting the knowledge of reduced transition probabilities in this mass chain.
