Identification of new neutron-rich lanthanoid isotopes

  • 1. Advanced Science Research Center, Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute, Tokai, Ibaraki (Japan)

Description

Six new neutron-rich lanthanoid isotopes produced in the proton-induced fission of 238U were identified with the JAERI on-line isotope separator (JAERI-ISOL) coupled to a gas-jet transport system. The observed K x-ray following the β- - decay of products in the mass-separated fraction provided direct identification of isotope. New isotopes observed, with values of their half-lives given in parentheses, are 159Pm (2 ± 1 s), 161Sm (4.8 ± 0.8 s), 165Gd (10.3 ± 1.6 s), 166Tb (21 ± 6 s), 167tb (19.4 ± 2.7 s) and 168Tb (8.2 ± 1.3 s). Furthermore, the level energies of first 2+ and 4+ states of the daughter nuclides 166Dy and 168 were derived through the β- - decay studies of 166Tb and 168Tb. (author)
