Nuclear Data Sheets for A=203

Abstract

Evaluated nuclear structure and decay data for all nuclei with mass number A=203 (²⁰³Os, ²⁰³Ir, ²⁰³Pt, ²⁰³Au, ²⁰³Hg, ²⁰³Tl, ²⁰³Pb, ²⁰³Bi, ²⁰³Po, ²⁰³At, ²⁰³Rn, ²⁰³Fr, ²⁰³Ra) are presented. All available experimental data are compiled and evaluated, and best values for level and γ-ray energies, quantum numbers, lifetimes, γ-ray intensities and transition probabilities, as well as other nuclear properties, are recommended. Inconsistencies and discrepancies that exist in the literature are discussed. A number of computer codes (https://www-nds.iaea.org/public/ensdf_pgm/index.htm) developed by members of the NSDD network were used during the evaluation process. For example, the reported absolute γ-ray emission probabilities and their uncertainties were determined using the GABS code. The γ-ray transition probabilities were determined using the RULER code and the corresponding uncertainties were estimated by means of a Monte-Carlo approach. This work supersedes the earlier evaluation by F.G. Kondev (2005Ko20), published in Nuclear Data Sheets 105, 1 (2005).
