Abstract

The threshold energies for the 96Ru(p, n) 96Rh and 98Ru(p, n) 98Rh reactions were measured as 7.30 ± 0.01 and 5.90 ± 0.01 MeV respectively, yielding for the mass excess of the Rh isotopes the values of -79.622 ± 0.011 MeV (96Rh) and -83.16 ± 0.011 MeV (98Rh). By observing delayed γ-rays following the β+ decay of the produced Rh isotopes, two half-lives of 1.55 ± 0.15 min and 9.25 ± 0.10 min were found in the activity of 96Rh and a half-life of 9.05 ± 0.30 min was found for the 98Rh. The above results together with Hauser-Feshbach analyses of the (p, n) excitation functions suggest the value 3+ for the spins and parities of 96, 98Rh.
