Half-life of the 6.21 keV level in181Ta

Abstract: The half-life of the first excited state at 6.21 keV in ~81Ta has been measured using the delayed coincidence technique. Si(Li) detectors of high energy resolution and a time-toamplitude converter were used in these experiments. Great care was taken to reduce and determine the rate of accidental events. The final result for the half-life from 18 measurements was found to be T1/z=(6.05_0.12)gs. This value is significantly lower than previously published ones. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

“…The long lifetime of this nuclear level (ro = 8.73 p, s [7]) and the complementary narrow energy width (I o = 7.5 X 10 " eV, corresponding to a Doppler shift of 3.6 p, m/s velocity), together with a very large nuclear magnetic moment (p, = +5.2), make this resonance a very sensitive probe of hyperfine interactions. In the field of MOssbauer spectroscopy this resonance gives more than an order of magnitude better energy resolution than the 14.4 keV resonance of Fe (ro = 141 ns).…”

“…The present investigation of the nuclear levels at 482.2 keV and 615.3keV in lSZTa is a continuation of the work performed on the half life of the 6.2 keV level in the same nuclide [1]. Up to 1973 numerous authors have measured the half life of the 482.2 keV [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] and that of the 615.3keV [5,8,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] level in ~81Ta.…”

“…At CBNM the half lives of several excited nuclear levels have been measured, mainly in nuclei applicable to M6ssbauer spectroscopy [1][2][3]. The present investigation of the nuclear levels at 482.2 keV and 615.3keV in lSZTa is a continuation of the work performed on the half life of the 6.2 keV level in the same nuclide [1].…”

“…The π 9/2 − [514] states in 179 Ta, 181 Ta, and 183 Ta have lifetimes and excitation energies of 2.05 µs at 31 keV, 8.73 µs at 6 keV, and 107 ns at 73 keV, respectively [16][17][18]. Because the 9/2 − [514] state energy is considerably higher in 185 Ta, a shorter lifetime is expected.…”
