An investigation of the beta decay of 78Rb to levels in VSKr has been carried out, and a detailed level scheme is proposed. The half-lives of 7SgRb and vS"Rb have been measured to be 17.66+0.08m and 5.74_+0.05m, respectively. It has been possible to deduce percentage feedings and logft values separately for the ground state and isomeric decays. The spectroscopic studies favour a J~=0 + assignment for the 7SRb ground state, and 4-for the isomeric level. This implies that the 7SgRb--* VS~Kr decay is isospin forbidden.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
