Abstract

Two new activities have been found in the neutron deficient isotopes of molybdenum produced by (p, pxn) reactions on molybdenum. The half-lives were 27 3 ± 1·4 min and 7·1 min. These activities are assigned to 88Mo and 89Mo respectively on the basis of their genetic relationship with niobium and zirconium isotopes. 88Mo has also been produced by a (p, xn) reaction on niobium.

Positron and γ-ray spectra of these and a few other neutron deficient isotopes of molybdenum have been studied. 88Mo emits 2·5 MeV positrons and a 2·69 MeV γ-ray. 89Mo emits positron groups of energies 4·05 and 4·95 MeV.
