Nuclear Data Sheets for A=30

Abstract

Evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented for ³⁰F, ³⁰Ne, ³⁰Na, ³⁰Mg, ³⁰Al, ³⁰Si, ³⁰P, ³⁰S, ³⁰Cl, and ³⁰Ar. The recommended values for the level energies and their percentage decay modes, level lifetimes, γ energies, γ branching ratios, transition probabilities, etc. are presented. Among these nuclides, ³⁰F is unobserved and most likely particle unbound. Additional experimental data are required for firm spin-parity assignments of the low-lying excited levels of ³⁰Ne. The most well studied nuclide is ³⁰Si followed by ³⁰P. The data for the most proton-rich nuclide ³⁰Ar are presented following the recent work of 2018Xu04 and 2015Mu13. This evaluation for A=30 supersedes the previous one, 2010Ba29.
