The nuclide Re-159 was synthesised in the reaction Cd-106(Ni-58, p4n) and identified via its proton radioactivity using the RITU gas-filled separator and the GREAT focal-plane spectrometer. Comparisons of the measured proton energy (E-p = 1805 +/- 20 keV) and decay half-life (t(1/2) = 21 +/- 4 ps) with values calculated using the YIKB method indicate that the proton is emitted from an h(11/2) state. The implications of these results for future experimental investigations into even more proton unbound Re isotopes using in-flight separation techniques are considered.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNUCLEAR REACTIONS Ni-58+Cd-106 at 300 MeV beam energyenriched targetsgas-filled recoil separatorSi detectorsmeasured Ep, t(1/2)Conference Object96128+WOS:000252267300004N/A
