The neutron-deficient isotope Pr137 has been discovered by proton bombardment of natural cerium, chemical separation, and mass determination. Its half-life is 1.5 ± 0.1 hours and the end point of its positron spectrum is 1.7 ± 0.1 Mev. No gamma rays were observed.

The half-life of Au200 has been measured to be 48.4 ± 0.3 minutes. The beta radiations emitted in the decay of Au200 have been studied by absorption in aluminum, and the gamma radiations with a multichannel scintillation spectrometer. Two beta rays with end-point energies of 2.25 ± 0.20 and 0.7 ± 0.1 Mev and respective abundance of (75 ± 3)% and (25 ± 3)% were detected. Three gamma rays with energies of 0.367, 1.23, and 1.60 Mev were observed. It was established that the 0.367- and 1.23-Mev gamma rays are in coincidence. A decay scheme for Au200 is proposed.

SummaryThe radionuclide Tc-94m with its positron branching ratio of 72, positron end-point energy of 2.47MeV, and relatively short half-life of 52 minutes is suitable for quantitative measurements using PET. Tc-94m can be produced by proton bombardment of isotopically enriched [Mo-94]MoO

A member of the odd–odd Z = N family, Sc42, has been produced by proton bombardment of a calcium target greatly enriched in Ca42. The positron emission, which alone is observed, has a measured half-life of 0.68 second, end point 4.8. Mev., and threshold 6.8 Mev. The superallowed transition is between ground states (J, T) tentatively described as Sc42 (0+, 1) and Ca42 (0+, 1).

A coincidence circuit of resolving time 3 × 10−9 sec. has been used to examine the decay of In114. Coincidence experiments are described to show that of the five gamma-rays which follow the K-capture process the 0.722 and 1.300 Mev. radiations are both in cascade with the 0.556 Mev. gamma-ray and that the spins and parities of the excited levels of energy 0.556, 1.278, and 1.856 Mev. in Cd114 are 2 +, 2 +, and 0 +, respectively. The observed beta–gamma coincidences may be ascribed to a combination of inner bremsstrahlung associated with the strong 2 Mev. β− transition and a weak β− group of intensity less than 1 × 10−3 beta per disintegration and end point about 0.8 Mev. The positron spectrum has a branching ratio of 4 ± 1 × 10−5 and an end point between 1.0 and 1.4 Mev.

A delayed γ activity, Eγ = 122.2 ± 0.2 keV, t1/2 = 18.82 ± 0.09 s, is observed following 10 MeV proton bombardment of targets of natural Zr and of natural Hf in which Zr is present as a contaminant. The present results taken together with other recently published data show that this activity arises from 90Zr(p,n)90Nbm. The tentative assignment of this 122 keV γ activity to 179Ta, which we proposed in an earlier publication, is withdrawn.

The gamma rays resulting from the bombardment of B10 with protons of energies from 0.5 to 2.0 Mev. have been observed with a sodium iodide scintillation counter. Capture radiation, of energy[Formula: see text]showed a broad resonance at Ep = 1135 ± 15 kev. At this energy, the radiation had an angular distribution of the form 1 + (0.50 ± 0.05)cos2θ and a total cross section (3.5 ± 1.0)10−30 cm.2 Several lower energy radiations were also observed and assigned tentatively to cascade transitions in C11.The cross section for the 430 kev. radiation from the reaction B10(p, αγ)Be7 was found to be 0.21 ± 0.05 barn at Ep = 1.52 Mev. This radiation was found to be isotropic.
