Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 198

The 2002 version of Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 198 (2002Zh04) has been updated and revised on the basis of the experimental results from various decay and reaction studies before June 2008. The experimental data for all known nuclei of A = 198 (Ir,Pt,Au,Hg, Tl,Pb,Bi,Po,At,Rn) have been reevaluated. The experimental methods, references, Jπ arguments, and necessary comments are given in the text. The theoretical internal conversion coefficient (ICC) (and its associated uncertainty) for γ-rays have been interpolated from theoretical values based on the “Frozen Orbital” approximation (2002Ba85) using the BRICC(v2.2) computer program. Summary band-structure drawings and level schemes from both radioactive decay and reaction studies are presented. Also of special interest are the new levels of 198Ir, 198Tl nuclei and identification of new superdeformed bands in 198Pb and 198Po.
