In search of live Cm-247 in the early solar system
The r-process only nuclide 247Cm decays to 235U with a characteristic half-life of ∼ 16 million years. 247Cm is presently extinct, but offers considerable potential as a short-lived r-process chronometer, providing constraints on the time interval between the last r-process nucleo-synthetic event an...
