Abstract
The -decay property of has been studied by the pulsed-beam method, in which was produced in the reaction and its decay was measured between natural beam bursts of the cyclotron. The ground state of was found to decay with MeV and μsec. The reduced width of is shown to fit the systematical trend of isotones very well and to agree with the simple shell-model calculation. Distributions of recoil angles for reaction products in the () reaction were found to be quite different from those for () products, giving a convenient method of distinguishing these reaction products.
