Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 182
Nuclear spectroscopic information for known nuclides of mass number 182 (Yb,Lu,Hf,Ta,W,Re,Os,Ir,Pt,Au, Hg,Tl,Pb) with Z=70 to 82 and N=112 to 100 have been evaluated and presented together with adopted energies and Jπ of levels in these nuclei. No excited state data are yet available for {sup 182}Y and {sup 182}Lu, while only limited structure information is available for {sup 182}Pb and {sup 182}Tl. Rotational band structures are known for {sup 182}Hg and {sup 182}Au but spin–parity assignments remain largely tentative. The decays of {sup 182}Lu, {sup 182}Hg, {sup 182}Au and {sup 182}Tl are not well established. The {sup 182}Hf isotope is of geophysical and astrophysical interest. This evaluation supersedes previous full evaluations of A = 182 published by 2010Si13, 1988Fi05 and 1975Sc13, and a selected (mainly high–spin) update of A = 182 published by 1995Si04. Only the Adopted properties of levels and gamma rays are presented in NDS, consult the ENSDF database at (www.nndc.bnl.gov/ensdf/) for details of individual reaction and decay datasets.
