Abstract
A new neutron-deficient isotope of krypton, , with a half-life of 9.7±0.5 hours has been produced by the spallation of yttrium. Its genetic relationship with its 17.2-hour daughter was established by isolation experiments. decays by weak positron emission (probably >0.6 Mev). A search for electron capture by this nuclide gave negative results.
