The size of the proton subshell gap between the d5/2 and h11/2 orbitals is reviewed. The need of revising the microscopic calculations with increased energy gap is reexamined for N≥82 nuclei. Both for ...

The L 1 subshell orbital electron capture probability P L1 in the decay of 33.4 y 207 Bi to the 2339.89 keV level in 207 Pb is measured to be 0.518 ± 0.081 (95% confidence) by a new method in which L ...
