Abstract

{}^{108}I

is confirmed as a predominant alpha particle emitter with an energy of 3947±5 keV and half-life of 36±6 ms. The first observation of alpha decays of

{}^{106}{Te}

nuclei produced directly as evaporation residues is reported with a measured energy of 4128±9 keV and a half-life of

60_{- 20}^{+ 40}

μs. Alpha decay branching ratios for

{}^{112}{Xe}

and

{}^{108}{Te}

have been measured from correlations with preceding proton decays as 0.

8_{- 0.5}^{+ 1.1}

% and 49±4%, respectively. Improved measurements for the

{}^{112}{Xe}

alpha decay energy of 3216±7 keV and the half-life of

{}^{107}{Te}

of 3.1±0.1 ms are also reported.
