20Mg (1987AJ02)
(See the Isobar Diagram for 20Mg)
20Mg has been populated in the 24Mg(α, 8He) reaction at Eα =
127 and 156 MeV and in the 20Ne(3He, 3n) reaction at
E(3He) = 70 MeV. The super-allowed decay of 20Mg to the first T = 2
(Jπ = 0+) state of 20Na
[Ex = 6.57 ± 0.05 MeV] has been reported from observations of the subsequent
decay of that state by proton emission [see Fig.
12, Energy Level Diagram for 20Na]. The partial half-life is 95+80-50 msec leading to a branching
ratio of (3 ± 2)% for the super-allowed decay; log ft = 3.18. The results for A = 20
are in agreement with the quadratic form of the IMME: see (1978AJ03, 1983AJ01). See also (1985AN28, 1986AN07) and
(1983ANZQ; theor.).
