Abstract
The plutonium isotopes232Pu,233Pu and234Pu were produced by (α,xn) reactions with233U. After a chemical separation their decay was studied by γ-ray and α-spectros-copy.
For233Pu twenty-seven γ-ray energies and intensities were measured and a decay scheme is proposed. An additional α-transition was detected for232Pu. The half-lives were determined for all three isotopes.
