Evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented for 30F, 30Ne, 30Na, 30Mg, 30Al, 30Si, 30P, 30S, 30Cl, and 30Ar. The recommended values for the level energies and their percentage decay modes, level lifetimes, γ energies, γ branching ratios, transition probabilities, etc. are presented. Among these nuclides, 30F is unobserved and most likely particle unbound. Additional experimental data are required for firm spin-parity assignments of the low-lying excited levels of 30Ne. The most well studied nuclide is 30Si followed by 30P. The data for the most proton-rich nuclide 30Ar are presented following the recent work of 2018Xu04 and 2015Mu13. This evaluation for A=30 supersedes the previous one, 2010Ba29.
The experimental reaction and decay studies producing nuclei in the A=230 mass chain have been reviewed. Data on elements from radon (Z=86) to americium (Z=95) are included, and level and decay schemes are presented for these nuclides. This work supersedes the previous evaluation for this mass chain (2012Br12).
Evidence suggests that the uncertainties reported in a widely referenced paper by Houtermans et al. in Int. J. Appl. Radiat. Isot. 31, 153 (1980) have been significantly underestimated, potentially by an order of magnitude. Up to the present date, this has had implications for the accuracy of the reference half-life and uncertainty values derived from evaluations of literature data. The current study aims to propose more realistic uncertainty values that can serve as a foundation for future re-evaluations. Additionally, it is suggested that similar corrections could be considered for other historical papers to ensure consistency across the field. Although the approach to rectifying old data may involve some degree of subjectivity, it offers a practical and effective way to incorporate the historical decay data until they can be replaced by more precise measurements accompanied by comprehensive uncertainty assessments.
