New Measurements of the Lifetimes of Excited States of Mn-55 Below 2.7 MeV

Description

The lifetimes of the excited states of 55 Mn between 1.5 and 2.7 MeV were measured using nuclear resonance fluorescence. The absolute lifetimes of the excited levels were determined from simultaneous measurements of manganese and aluminum. In this approach, the precisely known aluminum states serves as a means to normalize the results. Our findings differ from the evaluated level lifetimes in ENSDF, but agree with earlier nuclear resonance fluorescence measurements.
