Abstract

Co57(270-day) has been prepared by the reactions Mn55(α, 2n) and Ni58(p, 2p), separated chemically, and its disintegration studied with a magnetic lens and a scintillation spectrometer. Co57 decays by electron capture; an upper limit of 2×105 positron per disintegration has been set. Positron groups previously assigned to Co57 presumably belong to one of the neighboring isotopes of cobalt. Gamma rays of 0.137 and 0.123 Mev have a relative abundance of 7 and 93 percent, and presumably are E2 and M1 transitions, respectively. A decay scheme is outlined.
