Abstract
A new neutron-rich isotope, /sup 196/Os, was identified as the product of the /sup 198/Pt(n,2pn) reaction. Chemically separated sources were used to characterize its ..beta.. and ..gamma.. radiations. The new isotope decays with a half-life of 34.9 +- 0.2 min. Ten ..gamma.. rays have been assigned to this decay, the strongest being at 407.9 keV. a Q/sub beta-/ of 0.84 MeV was inferred from ..beta..-..gamma.. coincidence measurements. ..gamma..-ray energies and intensities as well as Q/sub beta-/ for the decay of the 52-sec /sup 196/Ir daughter of /sup 196/Os have been remeasured and are in agreement with the results of an earlier investigation. A partial decay scheme for /sup 196/Os is proposed.
