Alpha
decay and spontaneous fission of the ground-state and the isomeric state of Md were investigated with specific emphasis to identify the ground-state of the daughter nucleus
Es. The decay studies were accompanied by measuring
-
coincidences. On the basis of the measured data an improved decay scheme of
Md is proposed. Spontaneous fission half-lives of
Md and
Md were determined and the fission hindrance of the high spin ground-state (7/2
) relative to the low spin isomeric state (1/2
) was estimated.
