Energy of the superallowed β decay of38Km

Abstract
The threshold energy of the 38Ar(p,n)38Km reaction has been measured using solid 38Ar targets and has been found to be 7008.52(12) keV, with a 1 V standard as reference. This is in agreement with, but more precise than, the accepted value. The average gives a Q value for the 38Km superallowed positron decay of 6044.34(12) keV and an ft value of 3049.4(21) s. To improve this last, the discord in the measured 38Km halflives should be resolved.
