Abstract
The new neutron deficient isotope Pa-212 has been produced in the W-18 2(Cl-35,5n) reaction at a beam energy of 182.5 MeV. Evaporation residu es have been separated with the JAERI recoil mass separator and identi fied on the basis of time- and position-correlated alpha-decay chains. The alpha decay from the ground state of Pa-212 has been observed wit h an alpha-particle energy of 8.270(30) MeV and a half-life of 5.1(-1. 9)(+6.1) ms.
