Abstract

Theβ + decay of86Mo has been firstly investigated by means ofβγ spectroscopy. The86Mo nuclei were produced by fusion-evaporation reactions of54 Fe (35Cl, 1 p2n) and58Ni (32S,2p 2n) at beam energies of 103 and 120 MeV, respectively. Threeγ rays of 47.3, 49.8 and 187.0 keV were unambiguously identified to follow theβ + decay of86Mo by results of andβγ coincidence and cross-bombardment. A half life and a maximumβ +-ray energy of86Mo were determined to be 19.6±1.1 s and 3.9±0.4 MeV, respectively. A decay scheme of86Mo is proposed in this article. Furthermore, a decay of86Nb has been studied using the same combinations of projectiles and targets, and a newβ-decaying isomer86mNb was observed with a half life of 56.3±8.3 s.
