Abstract

The recoil-distance Doppler-shift method has been used to measure the lifetimes of two levels of 38Ar, produced by the 4He(35Cl, p)38Ar reaction. A gas target at 200 to 400 Torr pressure was used. The mean lifetime of the 3377 keV level was determined as 27±3 ps. The mean lifetime of the 4585 keV level was determined as 172 ± 8 ps through observation of the 105 keV γ-rays which are emitted from this level and of the subsequently emitted 670 keV γ-rays.
