Description
In an investigation of A=146 isobars, produced in 58Ni bombardments of 92Mo, the electron capture and β+ decay of the previously unknown isotope 146Er was identified. This nuclidic assignment was based on the observation of Ho K x rays in coincidence with β-delayed protons as well as in total-projected coincidence γ-ray spectra. From the time distribution of the x-ray events seen in these total-projected spectra the half-life of 146Er was determined to be 1.7(6) s
