Identification of 208Hg
- Received Date: 1993-01-04
Abstract: This paper describes in detail the procedures used in the identification of the new neutron-rich isotope 208Hg and the measurement of its half-life. The identification included two step chemical separations. The first step was the collection of Hg element products from the irradiated target with high efficiency and good element selectivity, which was realized by means of an off-line melt Pb target device. The second step was to extract periodically the growing Tl element from the collected Hg sample. In the γ spectra of the extracted Tl sample, a 2614.6 keV activity with a half-life of 3 minutes was observed, which may only be assigned to the daughter 208Tl of 208Hg decay.
