Abstract

With the use of a velocity filter, the α-particle decays of

{}^{224}U

and

{}^{225}U

were studied in

{}^{19}F

bombardments of

{}^{209}{Bi}

. The data obtained for these two isotopes are compared with those of previous investigators, and the α-decay rates of

{}^{222, 224, 226}U

are discussed within the context of partial α half-lives for even-even nuclei with Z≥84.
