Abstract
The -decay energy and halflife of
At
were determined to be 6960
20 keV and 385+69-51 ms respectively, on the basis
of genetic correlations in the 169Tm(36Ar,
6n)195At reaction, while
those of
At measured simultaneously were 7105
30 keV and
146+21-17 ms respectively, reconfirming the previously
reported values. A new isotope 199Fr was also produced and identified in the same way
in the 169Tm(36Ar, 6n)199Fr reaction, yielding E
= 7655
40 keV
and T1/2 = 12+10-4 ms.
