Scientific paper

A study has been made of electron capture followed by delayed fission in Am-234. The half-life of Am-234 was determined to be 2.32 + or - 0.08 min, and the measured ratio of delayed fissions to plutonium K X-rays was (6.6 + or - 1.8) x 10 to the -5th. The observed fissions were unequivocally assigned to an electron-capture-delayed-fission process in americium by coincidence measurements between the K-capture X-rays and the subsequent fission.
