3) The transition rate 2, in seconds, and the hindrance parameter, o, may be estimated from In 2 = 133.75 -66o -3.97Zp(Ta)½ , o = s = 0.002la(la+1) where Zp is the atomic number of the daughter nucleus, and Ta is the kinetic energy of the a-particle in MeV, la is the angular momentum of the a-particle. The partial decay scheme of Am by a-emission to the various level of Np is shown in the figure below (with the spin-parity, energy of the levels and the branching ratio of the indicated transition). The Q-value of a-decay from the ground state to the ground state is 5.63 MeV.
