Description
The new neutron-rich isotope 228Rn was produced by spallation reactions induced by 600 MeV protons in a 232Th target and identified by mass-separation and decay spectroscopy. The Z-assignment was confirmed via KX-rays and the genetic relationship to the well-known daughter product 228Fr. The half-life of 228Rn is 65 ± 2 s. Energies and relative intensities of prominent γ-rays are presented for the first time from the decay of both the new isotope 228Rn and 227Rn. (orig.)
