Title: Nuclear structure studies utilizing LAMPF. Annual progress report. [Summaries of research activities at Idaho National Engineering Laboratory]
Abstract: This report describes progress during FY-1975 on the study of the decay properties of selected neutron-deficient nuclides produced by proton-induced spallation reactions in the Clinton P. Anderson Meson Physics Facility (LAMPF) at LASL. These studies include the decay of /sup 128/Ba (2.4 d), /sup 128/Cs (3.9 min), /sup 131/Ba (11.7 d), /sup 134/Ce (75.9 h), /sup 134/La (6.67 min), and /sup 151/Tb (17.6 h), as well as half-life measurements of /sup 134/La and /sup 132/-/sup 135/Ce. In order to carry out studies of the longer-lived parents /sup 128/Ba and /sup 134/Ce, chemical separation techniques were developed to continuously remove the shorter-lived daughters /sup 128/Cs and /sup 134/La. All samples were isotope separated at INEL. In addition to these studies, the progress reported includes the development of measurement techniques necessary for planned future programmatic efforts.
