Nuclear data sheets for A=175

Evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented for all nuclei with mass number A=175. This evaluation for A=175 supersedes the earlier one by A. O. Macchiavelli and E. Browne (1993Ma79), published in Nuclear Data Sheets 69, 903 (1993). Highlights of this publication are the following: This evaluation includes the first study (1996Zh03) of Er-175 beta(-) decay, which has been used to interpret a predicted ground state doublet in Tm-175. The deep-inelastic reaction studies (1999As05, 1997Le11, and 1997Le10) extended the yrast band of Yb-175 to the Jpi= 41/2- level at 4426 keV. New studies (1994Mi04) of Yb-175 beta(-) decay have provided significantly more precise gamma-ray intensities. New data (2002Ro17 and 1998To14) from the alpha decay of Tl-179 have been used for tentatively assigning spin and parity to Au-175 ground and first-excited states. Tentative assignment of Hg-175 g.s. is adopted from Tl-176 proton decay (2004Ke06). Cutoff Date: All data available prior to June 1 2004 have been evaluated.

Browne for his assistance and patient guidance throughout this evaluation and also wish to thank the reviewer for comments and suggestions. General Comments: The alpha hindrance factors (HF) presented in this evaluation have bee, calculated using values of the radius parameter (r(0)) interpolated from those for even-even adjacent nuclei given in 1998Ak04. The Limitation of Relative Statistical Weight (LWM) method (1985ZiZY) has been used for some discrepant datasets in this evaluation.
