✦ Synopsis

Ruthenium 95, produced by a (n,2n) reaction, was studied by scintillation spectrometry, and the half-life and positon energy were determined by magnetic deflector and absorption measurements in Geiger-Mtiller beta counters.

The isotope decays with a half-life of 1.65 -~ 0.05 h by emission of positons with a maximum energy of 1.2 ~-0.1 MeV and by electron capture combined with emission of F-rays of 145, 340, 640 and 1110 keV.

Nuclear level schemes are discussed.
