Abstract: By means of an annular mica detector, the half-life and excitation function had been measured for the shape isomer 240mPu produced in the reaction 238U (α, 2n). A value of 3.5±0.5 ns was obtained for the half-life of 240mPu. The shape isomer excitation energy Bi was found to be 3.2±0.5 MeV.
