Abstract:
The new neutron deficient isotope 217U was produced in the bombardment of the 182W target with 40Ar ions and identified using a recoil-- correlation method. The -decay energy and the half-life of 217U were determined to be 8005 ± 20 keV and 15.6 +21.3-5.7 ms, respectively. Received: 18 May 2000 / Accepted: 21 June 2000
