Assignment of a 2.1s SF activity to 262Rf

  • 1. Lawrence Berkeley Lab., CA (United States)

Description

We have produced the isotope 262Rf via the 244Pu(22Ne,4n) reaction and measured its spontaneous fission properties and partial excitation function. Our work supports assignment of this SF activity to decay of 262Rf. We measured 200 coincident spontaneous fission fragments and determined the half-life to be 2.1±0.2s. The kinetic energy and mass-yield distributions were determined and the mass-yield distribution is predominately symmetric with a FWHM of 19.6 mass units. This may be the same as the 1.2+1.0-0.5s spontaneous fission activity reported by Lougheed et al. as the alpha-decay daughter of 266Sg
