Abstract

IN continuation of our previous analysis of the decay scheme of 181Hf1, we have carried the work further with higher resolving power and using a spectrometer with a thin Geiger-Müller window. We have also carried out delayed coincidence measurements to study the metastable state reported by De Benedetti and McGowan2. We have attempted to eliminate various possible decay schemes which have been proposed1-3, in favour of one to be discussed here.
