Description

γ-rays from the decay of 168Ta, Tsub(1/2) = 2.44 +- 0.35 min., have been studied singly and in two-parameter coincidences. Spectrum multiscaling spectroscopy provided accurate half-life information. Sources of 168Ta were prepared by the thermalization and transport of recoil products from the 159Tb(16O, 7n)168Ta reaction by means of a helium-jet system. Rotational levels of the ground-state, β- and γ-vibrational bands of 168Hf have been observed and a decay scheme with deduced branching ratios and log ft values is proposed. (author)
