Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 222

The ENSDF evaluation for A=222 mass chain (1996El01) has been updated on the basis of the experimental results, since September 1995 (literature cutoff date in 1996El01), from various reaction and decay studies for all nuclides in A=222 mass chain (Z=84 to 92). A new nuclide (222Po) has since been observed. In addition, new measurements have been reported in Rn, Th and Ra nuclides. The results obtained from various theoretical studies are given as comments. The updated level and decay schemes, and experimental decay and reaction data on which they are based, are summarized and presented for all the nuclides with mass number A=222. The adopted values of level energies, level spins and parities are given, and γ-ray energies, intensities, as well as other nuclear properties are presented. The references, Jπ arguments, and necessary comments are given in the text. All Q values have been adopted from 2011AuZZ. Theoretical work of 2009Mo27 was consulted.
