This evaluation for A = 115 updates one by J. Blachot, (2005Bl28), published in Nuclear Data Sheets 104, 967 (2005). {alpha} are from BrIcc v2.2b (20-Jan-2009) 2008Ki07, 'Frozen Orbitals' approximation.
The experimental results from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides in the A = 90 mass chain have been reviewed. These data are summarized and presented, together with the adopted level schemes and properties, for the nuclides from Ge(Z = 32) through Pd(Z = 46). This evaluation replaces the previous evaluation by E. Browne, which appeared in Nuclear Data Sheets 82, 379 (1998).
Spectroscopic data for all nuclei with mass number A=212 have been evaluated and the corresponding level schemes from radioactive decay and reaction studies are presented. Highlights from this evaluation include the first observation of 212 Hg by 2010Al24 and the first measurement of the ground state half-life by 2012Be28and 2016Ca25. The first measurement of the β - decay of 212 Tl populating excited states in 2 12 Pb has been per-formed by 2014Mo02. Knowledge of excited levels and their half-lives in 212 Po has been significantly extended in the transfer reaction studies of 2010As01, 2010As03 and 2016Ko03, 2017Ko38. A new (9 - )isomer which α decays in 212 At was observed by 2007Ku30. The level scheme of 212 Rn was significantly extended through the(HI,xnγ) reaction studies of 2009Dr12 and 2008Dr01. New levels in 212 Ra were identified in a transfer reaction experiment by 2018Pa04. Finally, the α decay of both the ground state and an isomer in 216 U populating 212 Thwas reported for the first time by 2015Ma37 and 2015De22
Spectroscopic data for all nuclei with mass number A=47 have been evaluated and the corresponding level schemes from radioactive decay and reaction studies are presented. Furthermore, highlights from this evaluation include first observation of gamma-ray transitions in 47 Ar, a new high precision measurement of 47 K β decay, and first observation of excited levels and gamma-ray transitions in 47 Mn.
Experimental data on ground- and excited-state properties for all known nuclei with mass number A=69 have been compiled and evaluated.

The experimental results published before August 2020 from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides of Z=55 to Z=72, 153 Ba, 153 La, 153 Ce, 153 Pr, 153 Nd, 153 Pm, 153 Sm, 153 Eu, 153 Gd, 153 Tb, 153 Dy, 153 Ho, 153 Er, 153 Tm, 153 Yb, 153 Lu, 153 Hf in the A=153 mass chain have been reviewed. These data are summarized and presented, together with adopted level schemes and properties. This work is intended to supersede the previous evaluation of the A=153 nuclides by R.G. Helmer (2006He06), which was published in Nuclear Data Sheets 107, 507 (2006).
The experimental results published before Aug 2022 from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides of Z=56 to Z=72, 154 Ba, 154 La, 154 Ce, 154 Pr, 154 Nd, 154 Pm, 154 Sm, 154 Eu, 154 Gd, 154 Tb, 154 Dy, 154 Ho, 154 Er, 154 Tm, 154 Yb, 154 Lu, 154 Hf, in the A=154 mass chain have been reviewed. These data are collected and presented in decay or reaction datasets, together with Adopted Levels and gammas datasets that are the most extensive collections of nuclear structure data for each nuclide. Furthermore this work is intended to supersede the previous evaluation of the A=154 nuclides by C.W. Reich (2009Re14), which was published in Nuclear Data Sheets 110, 2257 (2009).
Evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented for {sup 27}F, {sup 27}Ne, {sup 27}Na, {sup 27}Mg, {sup 27}Al, {sup 27}Si, {sup 27}P, and {sup 27}S. This evaluation for A=27 supersedes the earlier evaluation by P.M. Endt (1998En04 and 1990En08).
The experimental data are evaluated for known nuclides of mass number A=44 (Si,P,S,Cl,Ar,K,Ca,Sc,Ti,V, Cr,Mn). Detailed evaluated level properties and related information are presented, including adopted values of level and {gamma}-ray energies, decay data (energies, intensities and placement of radiations), and other spectroscopic data. This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=44 published by 1999Ca45 and 1990En08 (also 1998En04 update). No excited states are known in {sup 44}Si, {sup 44}P, {sup 44}Cr, {sup 44}Mn. Only one excited state is known in 44V and its Isobaric Analog State (IAS) has been observed but with the level energy not known. Information for {sup 44}S, {sup 44}Cl and {sup 44}Ar is limited and their radioactive decay schemes seem incomplete in view of large Q values and known excitations much below than allowed by Q values. The {sup 44}Ca, {sup 44}Sc and {sup 44}Ti nuclides remain as the most extensively studied from many different reactions and decays.
Evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented for {sup 28}F, {sup 28}Ne, {sup 28}Na, {sup 28}Mg, {sup 28}Al, {sup 28}Si, {sup 28}P, and {sup 28}S. This evaluation for A=28 supersedes the earlier evaluations by P.M. Endt (1998En04 and 1990En08). However, additional/detailed data for these nuclides can be found in earlier evaluations 1978En02 and 1973EnVA also by P.M. Endt.
Evaluated experimental data are presented for 13 known nuclides of mass 85 (Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo). Since the previous 1990 evaluation of A=85, {sup 85}Zn, {sup 85}Ga, {sup 85}Ge and {sup 85}nuclides are newly added here. Excited state data for {sup 85}Se, {sup 85}Zr have become available from radioactive decay and in–beam γ–ray studies. New and improved high–spin data are available for {sup 85}Br, {sup 85}Kr, {sup 85}Rb, {sup 85}Y, {sup 85}Nb and {sup 85}Mo. New direct and precise measurement of atomic masses of {sup 85}Ge, {sup 85}As, {sup 85}Se, {sup 85}Br, {sup 85}Rb, {sup 85}Zr, {sup 85}Nb and {sup 85}Mo have greatly improved the landscape of β decay–Q values and separation energies in this mass region. In spite of extensive experimental work on the isobaric nuclei of this mass chain several deficiencies remain. No excited states are known in {sup 85}Zn, {sup 85}Ga, {sup 85}As. Only a few excited state are assigned in {sup 85}Ge from {sup 85}Ga β– decay. From radioactivity studies, the decay schemes of {sup 85}Zn and {sup 85}Mo are not known, and those for {sup 85}Ga, {sup 85}Ge, {sup 85}As and 10.9–s isomer of {sup 85}Zr are incomplete. Level lifetimes are not known for excited states in {sup 85}Se, {sup 85}Br, {sup 85}Nb and {sup 85}Mo. The {sup 85}Tc nuclide has not been detected in fragmentation experiments at GANIL, alluding to its unbound nature for proton emission. The {sup 85}Kr, {sup 85}Rb, {sup 85}Sr, and {sup 85}Y nuclides remain the most extensively studied from many different reactions and decays. The evaluation of A=85 nuclides has been done after a span of 23 years, thus includes an extensive amount of new data for almost each nuclide. This work supersedes the data for A=85 nuclides presented in earlier full NDS publication by J. Tepel in 1980Te04 and a later one published in an update mode by H. Sievers in 1991Si01.
Evaluated spectroscopic data for {sup 210}Au, {sup 210}Hg, {sup 210}Tl, {sup 210}Pb, {sup 210}Bi, {sup 210}Po, {sup 210}At, {sup 210}Rn, {sup 210}Fr, {sup 210}Ra, {sup 210}Ac, and {sup 210}Th and corresponding level schemes from radioactive decay and reaction studies are presented. This evaluation supersedes the previous evaluation by E. Browne (2003Br13). Highlights of this publication are the identification of new μs isomers of {sup 210}Hg by 2013Go10 and measurement of an excited level energy at 1709 keV 30 of {sup 210}Rn from {sup 214}Rn α decay: 68.6 μs by 2006Ku26 denoted as x+1664.6 in the Adopted Levels. Earlier experimental limits for x≤50 keV was proposed in 1979Po19 and 1982Po03 – (HI,xnγ)
Evaluated experimental data are presented for 13 known mass 189 nuclides (Hf, Ta, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Po). Since the 2003Wu02 publication, structure and decay data from 25 new and primary publications have been incorporated in the current work, while adding a new 189 Hf nuclide. New data have been added for all nuclides except 189 Au and 189 Hg. Moreover, several previous datasets were modified for β-decay Q values and conversion coefficients even when no new publications appeared since 2003Wu02. In spite of large amounts of data available for A=189 nuclides, several deficiencies remain, which are pointed out below in the hope that further experimental work may improve our knowledge of structure of these nuclides. For 189 Hf and 189 Ta, ground-state half-lives, and their decay schemes are unknown. An isomer in 189 Ta has recently been established but its decay characteristics are unknown, even though several gamma rays were connected with its decay. No excited states are known in 189 W and only one in 189 Po. The decay scheme of 189 W is known poorly with most gamma rays left as unassigned. The decay schemes of 189 Au and 189 Pb g.s. suffer from incompleteness, while those for the g.s. and isomer of 189 Tl are almost absent. The decay schemes of g.s. and isomer of 189 Hg are very complex as apparent from the study by 1996Wo04. Evaluators feel that these two decay schemes could be improved with modern gamma-ray detector arrays. While several isomers are known in many of the A=189 nuclides, there is in general lack of information of level half-lives, thus limiting the knowledge of transition probabilities. High-spin structures, including SD bands in 189 Hg and 189 Tl, are known in 189 Re, 189 Ir, 189 Pt, 189 Au, 189 Hg, 189 Tl, 189 Pb and 189 Bi. Single-particle transfer data are available for 189 Re, 189 Os, and 189 Pt; and two-neutron transfer data for 189 Ir.
Experimental spectroscopic data on nuclear structure and decay are evaluated for known nuclides of mass 98 (Br, Kr, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Tc, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In). Detailed evaluation results of individual reactions and decays are presented together with the Adopted values that are recommended for level properties, γ and β radiations, and other spectroscopic information. 98 Mo remains as the most extensively studied nuclide via various reactions and decays. Level schemes of Sr, Y, Zr, Tc, and Pd nuclides in this mass chain are also well established to date; while Kr, Rb, Nb, Ag and Cd are amongst the least-studied ones for excited states, with only limited data available for each. On the neutron-rich side, 98 Br has been identified in the 9 Be(238U,F) reaction, but no spectroscopic data are yet available, while for 98 In on the proton-rich side, only the ground state and an isomer are known with half-lives measured but their spin-parities and the absolute level energy of the isomer yet to be determined. While 98 Ru and 98 Rh have also been extensively studied, large discrepancies exist between the high-spin sections of the proposed level schemes in different measurements, and these need to be clarified and resolved with further experimental investigations to improve the currently-adopted ones, which have been selected from the measurements with higher statistics, considering no other criteria of preference. Furthermore, this work supersedes all the earlier evaluations of A=98 (2003Si07, 1998Si18, 1992Si21, 1983Mu21, 1974Me34).
Evaluated spectroscopic data and level schemes from radioactive decay and nuclear reaction studies are presented for 23 N, 23 O, 23 F, 23 Ne, 23 Na, 23 Mg, 23 Al, and 23 Si. Here, this evaluation for A=23 supersedes the earlier one by R. B. Firestone (2007Fi02).
The evaluated spectroscopic data are presented for known nuclides of mass 249 (Cm, Bk, Cf, Es, Fm, Md, No). {sup 249}No has not been identified as yet. Significant amounts of new data have been added since the last evaluation of A=249 nuclides. This work supersedes earlier full evaluations of A=249 published by 1999Ar21.
