Abstract

³⁰Na, produced by on-line isotope separation, is studied as a possible emitter of β-delayed α-particles. This decay mode is identified with a probability of I_α = (5.5 ± 2) × 10⁻⁷.

Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 26
2016, Nuclear Data Sheets
Evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented for ²⁶O, ²⁶F, ²⁶Ne, ²⁶Na, ²⁶Mg, ²⁶Al, ²⁶Si, ²⁶P, and ²⁶S. This evaluation for A = 26 supersedes the earlier one by P. M. Endt (1998En04) and updates for some nuclides in ENSDF.
Highlights of this evaluation are the following:
This evaluation includes search results for ²⁶S nuclide and its proton–decay mode (2011Fo08).
An isomeric state (2.2 ms) in ²⁶F has been discovered by 2013Le03. The state is proposed at 643.4 keV 1 from γ–ray measurements. Internal-transition and beta-decay branches for the state are also determined. New excited levels in ²⁶Ne have been identified from ²⁶F β⁻ decay (2.2 ms).
For some ²⁶Si resonance states conflicting spin-parity assignments exist in the literature. These are identified by footnotes. 2015Do07 (³He,nγ) propose the first 0+ state above proton separation energy at an excitation energy of 5890 keV and suggested for additional independent measurements to confirm or refute the existence of 5946 keV 4. 2016Ch09 consider 5946 keV level as a distinct excited state in their reanalysis of the literature data with possible spin-parity assignment of 0+ or 4+
This evaluation also includes discovery of an isomeric state, at 164.1 keV 1, in ²⁶P by 2014NiZZ.
Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 30
2010, Nuclear Data Sheets
Evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented for ³⁰F, ³⁰Ne, ³⁰Na, ³⁰Mg, ³⁰Al, ³⁰Si, ³⁰P, ³⁰S, and ³⁰Cl. This evaluation for A=30 supersedes the previous evaluation 1998En04. However, some additional information for these nuclides can be found in earlier evaluations 1990En08 and 1978En02.
Highlights of this publication are the following:
The latest studies (2010StZZ, 2010De26) by fusion evaporation reaction of ¹⁴C and ¹⁸O using GAMMASPHERE array, consisted of 101 Compton-suppressed HPGe detectors, provided new data for ³⁰Al, ³⁰Si, and ³⁰Mg nuclides and extended the level scheme to higher spin states.
2010Se07 reported a new level at 4814(3) keV for ³⁰S nuclide studied by the ³²S(p,t) reaction. It did not observe the 5168(6) keV level that was reported earlier as a possible doublet by 2007Ba69. In the absence of further experiment, 2010Se07 considers the level as one of the doublets.
Energy levels of A = 21-44 nuclei (VII)
1990, Nuclear Physics, Section A
The experimentally determined properties of A = 21–44 nuclides are complied and evaluated with special emphasis on nuclear spectroscopy.
Separate tables for each of the nuclides reviewed present the available information about the following properties (in this order):
- •
  - excitation energies E_x,
- •
  - γ-ray branching ratios b(γ),
- •
  - γ-ray mixing ratios σ,
- •
  - lifetimes γ_m or widths Λ,
- •
  - neutron, proton, or α-particle resonances,
- •
  - partial widths,
- •
  - single-nucleon transfer reactions,
- •
  - beta-decay,
- •
  - arguments for spin and parity (J^π) and isospin (T) assignments.
For each nuclide a master table summarizing the “best” or adopted values for E_x, J^π; T and τ_m or Λ precedes the auxiliary tables listed above.
The review of each A-chain concludes with a discussion of isospin multiplets.
Figures are presented of the level schemes of all nuclei and, for each A-chain, an overview of the relative energies of the ground states and lowest analogue states of all nuclei in the chain.
