Description
The Beta decay of 82Zn has been studied at ISOLDE, CERN using a fast timing experimental
setup, which included a thin NE111A plastic beta detector, two HPGe gamma detectors and two
LaBr3(Ce) detectors all positioned in a close geometry. A new value for the lifetime of the beta
decaying g.s. of 82Zn was obtained and the -n branching ratio was measured for the first time.
Tentative level schemes were constructed for 82Ga and 81Ga populated in the Beta− and Beta−-n decay
of 82Zn, respectively, which include 13 gamma-rays in 82Ga and 5 in 81Ga.
