Nuclear Data Sheets for A = 163
The available data from the various reaction and decay studies leading to nuclides having mass number A=163 have been reviewed. These data are summarized and presented, together with adopted level schemes and properties, for nuclides from Eu (Z=63) through Os (Z=76). {sup 163}Eu represents a new addition to these nuclides. Level structures are now known for {sup 163}Ta and {sup 163}W through high-spin studies and recoil-decay tagging techniques. Several radioactive decays in this mass chain are not known at all or poorly established. No {beta} or {gamma}-ray data are available for {sup 163}Re-{sup 163}W-{sup 163}Ta-{sup 163}Hf {epsilon} decay chain. Those for {sup 163}Hf-{sup 163}Lu-{sup 163}Yb {epsilon} decay chain and {sup 163}Eu-{sup 163}Gd-{sup 163}Tb {beta}{sup -} decay chain are very sketchy. This evaluation is an update and revision of the previous one (2000Si01)
