Abstract

Coincidence studies have established in the decay scheme of,187W the existence of transitions of energy 7, 36, 77, 455, 589, and 639 keV with intensities of 3.0 ± 0.5%, 0.50 ± 0.06%, 0.31 ± 0.07%, 0.05 ± 0.02%, 0.14 ± 0.04%, and 0.05 ± 0.02% respectively as well as yielding the absolute intensities of the well-known transitions in 187Re. In addition the beta–gamma coincidence measurements have shown that (1) a first-forbidden unique transition feeds the first-excited state of 187Re, (2) there is at most a very weak beta transition to the level at 512 keV, (3) there is no inner beta group of about 300 keV end-point energy and intensity 8% as indicated by several earlier investigations, and (4) the decay energy of 187W to 187Re is 1311 ± 2 keV. The relevance of these observations to the structure of 187Re is discussed.
