Evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes are presented for 25N (unobserved), 25O, 25F, 25Ne, 25Na, 25Mg, 25Al, 25Si, and 25P based on the measured decay and nuclear reaction studies. This evaluation for A=25 supersedes the earlier one by R.B. Firestone (2009Fi05). Overall the decay datasets associated with 25Ne, 25Na, and 25Mg remain the same compared with those in the previous evaluation, 2009Fi05, however, new β-n decay datasets are added in 25Ne along with new reaction datasets almost for all of the above mentioned nuclides from older and new references.
Other highlights of this evaluation are the following:
Ground state of 25O is neutron unbound. Several new articles reported resonance energies of this nuclide, studied using radioactive beams, like 24O,27Ne, 26F, etc. These results have been included in this evaluation.
Due to the lack of direct experimental evidence, a tentative (5/2+) assignment for the ground state and no spin-parity assignments for the known excited states of 25Si has been adopted in the present evaluation.
In the absence of experimental evidence, tentative (1/2+) assignment has been adopted for the ground state of 25P. As suggested in 2015Fe02, light-ion scattering experiment in the inverse kinematics seems to be a probable probe for investigating the low-lying states of 25P, which are the mirror analogs of the states of 25Ne.

Available information pertaining to the nuclear structure of ground and excited states for all known nuclei with mass numbers A=248 has been compiled and evaluated. The adopted level and decay schemes, as well as the detailed nuclear properties and configuration assignments based on experimental data, are presented for these nuclides. When there are insufficient data, expected values from systematics of nuclear properties and/or theoretical calculations are utilized. Unexpected or discrepant experimental results are also noted. This work supersedes the 2014 evaluation by M.J. Martin (2014Ma86).

Experimental nuclear spectroscopic data are evaluated for 14 known nuclides of mass number A=86 (Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru). Detailed evaluated information is presented for each reaction and decay. Recommended values combining all available data are provided for the spectroscopic properties of each level, γ-ray, and decay radiation. Limited level and gamma information is available for 86Ga (ground state and one excited level), 86Ge (six levels), and 86As (ten excited states), with their respective decays poorly known. Fairly detailed level and gamma data are available for 86Se, 86Br, 86Kr, 86Rb, 86Sr and 86Y nuclei. The decay of 86Br to 86Kr has recently been studied by gamma spectroscopy (2016Ur04) and by TAGS technique (2017Ri08), the latter suggesting that many additional levels in 86Kr exist which have not been detected in high-resolution γ-ray spectroscopy. The γ-ray spectra in 2016Ur04 were valid up to , whereas the Q(β) value of 7.63 MeV for 86Br permits population of high-energy levels. For 86Zr, 86Nb and 86Mo, the data are available for mostly the high-spin states, as the decays of 86Nb, 86Mo, and 86Tc, which could populate low-spin levels, are not known well. For 86Tc, only four levels are known from the decay of an isomeric activity in 86Tc. In addition, decay of 86Tc with g.s. to 0+ g.s. in 86Mo could involve superallowed β transition, which has been pursued experimentally in detail. For 86Ru only the isotopic identification is established, with its half-life and decay modes unknown. The evaluated data in this work supersede data in earlier ENSDF evaluation of A=86 nuclei by 2015Ne01, where the literature cutoff date was November 30, 2014.

The lack of completeness and systematic studies of cumulative fission product yield (FPY) from the three major actinides of 235U, 238U, and 239Pu, over a broad energy range, was the primary motivation for the LLNL-LANL-TUNL collaboration. Given the focus on resolving FPY behavior around fission spectrum neutron energies, our 2016 data provides FPY measurements in fine energy steps in the range of 0.5–5.5 MeV and an additional anchor point at 14.8 MeV. Recently, our collaboration filled the gap between second chance fission and 14.8 MeV, providing a comprehensive study at eleven incident neutron energies from 0.5 to 14.8 MeV. However, during the course of the last measurements, it was found that the reported masses of the actinide deposits in the fission ionization chambers, which were used to measure the number of fissions, were not consistent with the complementary tests. Therefore, some corrections to the old data are needed. The purpose of this paper is to summarize all of the high-yield FPY data obtained for 235U, 238U, and 239Pu isotopes using quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams at 11 incident energies ranging from to 14.8 MeV.

Recently, our collaboration filled the gap between second chance fission and 14.8 MeV, providing a comprehensive study at eleven incident neutron energies from 0.5 to 14.8 MeV. However, during the course of the last measurements, it was found that the reported masses of the actinide deposits in the fission ionization chambers, which were used to measure the number of fissions, were not consistent with the complementary tests. Therefore, some corrections to the old data are needed. The purpose of this paper is to summarize all of the high-yield FPY data obtained for <sup>235</sup>U, <sup>238</sup>U, and <sup>239</sup>Pu isotopes using quasi-monoenergetic neutron beams at 11 incident energies ranging from <span><math><msub><mrow><mi>E</mi></mrow><mrow><mi>n</mi></mrow></msub><mo>=</mo><mn>0.5</mn></math></span> to 14.8 MeV.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49735,"journal":{"name":"Nuclear Data Sheets","volume":"202 ","pages":"Pages 12-29"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143936010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
