Abstract
Neutron-deficient isotopes of xenon have been produced by () reactions with high-energy protons on potassium iodide targets. The xenon activities were deposited on foils by the glow discharge technique and their radioactive properties were measured. Nineteen-hour decays by electron capture to 3.5-minute . Gamma rays of 182 and 235 kev accompany this decay. decays by emission of 3.12-Mev positrons. decays with a 1.8-hour half-life into 13-hour . Positrons of 1.7±0.1 Mev, 150-kev gamma rays, and x-rays are associated with this decay. has a half-life of 40±10 minutes for decay into 1.6-hour .
