The half-life of the neutron-rich nuclide, {\fesixty} has been in dispute in recent years. A measurement in 2009 published a value of $(2.62 \pm 0.04)\times10^{6}$ years, almost twice that of the previously accepted value from 1984 of…
Background: High-spin isomers at {\approx}9-MeV excitation energies have been reported in several N = 83 isotones near Z = 64. Spin and parity assignments of J{^\pi} = 49/2+ remain tentative for a number of these states in the odd-A nuclei.…
