Abstract
Sources of were produced by bombarding sodium iodide with ions of about 38-MeV energy, and its half-life was redetermined as 14.6±0.2 min. Its decay was studied by means of scintillation techniques. The decay of proceeds by a (78±5)-keV transition (), followed by a (107±3)-keV transition (). Included is a discussion of possible spin and parity assignments for the levels involved in this decay. An auxiliary experiment showed that less than 1% of decays lead to .
