Abstract

Measurements of EC and weak α decays of neutron-deficient americium and curium isotopes have been performed using a gas-jet coupled on-line isotope separator. Decay schemes of ^{235, 236}Am have been established for the first time, and proton-neutron configurations in ^{235, 236}Am and their EC-decay daughters ^{235, 236}Pu have been evaluated. Q_α values were derived from measured α-particle energies for ^{235, 236} Am and ²³⁸Cm as well as for the new isotopes ²³³ Am and ²³⁷Cm.
