The thorium wasradiochemically separated from the fixture of uranium and reaction products. Theactivity of thorium was measured by using an HPGe detector and a planar HPGedetector. The 238Th has been identified for the first time by measuring the growthand decay of the 7-rays from its daughter 238Pa. The half-life of 238Th was determinedto be 9.4f2.0 min. In addition, a new 7-ray of 89.010.3 keV with TI/2=8.911.5minwas found in the 7 spectrum gated with X-rays of Pa and assigned to 238Th P-- decaybased on measurements of transition energy and half life.展开更多
