Abstract

The investigation of the radioactive xenons growing out from radioactive iodines following uranium or thorium fission is summarized in this paper. Two complete chains have been established and identified with their mass numbers. They are: ₅₁Sb¹³³ 10 min.\ensuremath→₅₂Te¹³³ 60 min.\ensuremath→₅₃I¹³³ 22 hrs.\ensuremath→₅₄Xe¹³³ 5 days\ensuremath→₅₅Cs¹³³ and ₅₄Xe^135*\ensuremath\nearrow₅₃I¹³⁵6.6hrs. \ensuremath\downarrow10 min.\ensuremath\searrow ₅₄Xe¹³⁵ 9.4hr.₅₅Cs¹³⁵?
