Abstract

The decay of Ta173 was studied using high resolution Ge(Li), Si(Li), and Si surface-barrier detectors in singles and coincidence modes. The Ta173 activity was produced via the reaction Ho165(C12, 4n)Ta173, at a carbon beam energy of 6.3-6.9 MeV per nucleon. All spectra were obtained from chemically separated Ta sources. Besides the previously known energy levels of Hf173, the following levels in keV were determined: 255.5, 451.9, 508.9, 635.8, 775.5, 785.3, 811.7, 927.5, 942.5, 1020.3, 1111.4, 1127.0, 1192.8, 1248.3, 1450.0, 1574.2, 1655.6, 1667.1, 1694.3, and 2263.3. Rotational bands based on the (12)[521] (g.s.), (52)[512] (107.2 keV), and (72)+[633] (197.5 keV) Nilsson states were observed. The half-lives of the (52)[512] and the (12)+[633] band heads were determined to be (182±20) nsec and (160±40) nsec, respectively. The probability of the radiative E1 transition between the [633] and [512] band heads was calculated within the framework of Nilsson model including the pairing and Coriolis interactions. From measurement of the β+ end-point energy, the mass difference between Ta173 and Hf173 was determined to be 3670±200 keV.
