Use the chart of the nuclides as your primary dataset for isotope half-life. Show your work or references on a separate page and save electronically. Please use 3 significant digits for your answers. 1. (20 Points) Use the decay schemes for the following questions. 1.1. Provide the following data 1.1.1. 137 Cs half-life (years) 1.1.2. Half-life of 137m Ba (minutes) 1.1.3. Log ft value for the most likely beta decay branch of 137 Cs 1.1.4. Is there another stable isotope of A=137? 1.1.5. 137 Ba spin and parity 1.1.6. What is the gamma decay energy associated with 137 Cs in keV?
1.1.7. 137 Cs beta decay Q value (keV) 1.1.8. 137 La Electron capture Q value (keV) 1.2. What are the possible multipole radiations for the gamma decay shown above? 1.3. What is the actual multipole radiation for the gamma decay shown above? 1.4. Using the figure above provide the logft values for the ground state to ground decays of 137 Cs and 137 La. 1.4.1. 137 Cs logft 1.4.2. 137 La logft 1.5. The spin and parity of 137 La is the same as 137 Cs and both decay to 137 Ba. Yet 137 La does not decay to the 11/2- metastable state in the 137 Ba as does 137 Cs. Why? The questions above related to energy provide insight.
2. (15 Points) Use the chart of the nuclides data below for question 2. Consider the spontaneous fission of 250 Cf 1,2 . 2.1. Based on the data, what is the spontaneous fission half-life in years for 250 Cf? 2.2. Based on the spontaneous fission of 250 Cf, provide the data in the figure below. One fission product is provided. For the Coulomb barrier use ) ( 8 . 1 44 . 1 V 3 / 1 2 3 / 1 1 2 1 A A Z Z c + = Reaction # Fission Product 1 Fission Product 2 Vc (MeV) Q value (MeV) 1 88 Kr ___________ ___________ ___________ 2 99 Mo ___________ ___________ ___________ 3 110 Pd ___________ ___________ ___________ 4 134 Te ___________ ___________ ___________ 5 144 Ba ___________ ___________ ___________ 2.3. From the fissions shown in the table above which fission reaction is most likely? 2.4. Why did you select the fission product reactions from the question above? 2.5. What is the difference between spontaneous fission and neutron induced fission?
3. (20 Points) Consider the nucleus 99 Mo. This isotope is important for medical applications, as it is the parent of 99m Tc. These questions will explore why 99m Tc is the prominent progeny from the decay of 99 Mo rather than the ground state 99 Tc. 3.1. Provide the spin and parity of 99 Mo from the shell model 3.2. Provide the spin and parity from chart of the nuclides 3.3. Based on the actual spin and parity from the chart of the nuclides use the Nilsson diagram on the next page to answer the following questions. 3.3.1. Is 99 Mo a deformed nucleus? 3.3.2. Indicate which location on the Nilsson diagram (next page) would be occupied by the unpaired nucleon in 99 Mo. The red circle indicates the possible locations. 3.3.3. What is the shape of the 99 Mo nucleus?
