Abstract
In an experiment performed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s 88-inch cyclotron, the isotope was produced in the reaction. Decay properties of were measured at the focal plane of the Berkeley Gas-filled Separator, and the mass number assignment of was confirmed with the apparatus for the identification of nuclide . The isotope is reported to have one, possibly two, -decaying states with energies of 8.66(2) and 8.31(2) MeV and half-lives of and , respectively. Additionally, first evidence of the decay of was observed and is reported.
