Nuclear structure of elements with from alpha spectroscopy

Asai, Masato  ; Heberger, F. P.*; Lopez-Martens, A.*

Nuclear structure of Z = 100-109 nuclei studied through -decay spectroscopy have been reviewed. Experimental techniques and methods concerning separation techniques, summing effects in spectra, and the use of digital electronics for -decay spectroscopy have been described in detail. The presentation of the experimental results and the physics discussion were focused on nuclear structure systematics in even-Z nuclei along the N = 151, 153, and 155 isotonic lines, where most progress has been achieved in the last 10 years.
