title: Beta-decay half-lives and level ordering of 102m,gRh.
abstract: Beta-decay half-lives of the ground state and an isomer of 102Rh have been determined 207.3(17) d and 3,742(10) y, respectively, by gamma-ray decay curves following each beta-decay. It has been found that a state (2-) which has a shorter half-life (207.3 d) is the ground state from the result that the half-life of the 41.9 keV isomeric gamma-transition was equal to 3.742 y. It has also been confirmed that the 41.9 keV transition is certainly an isomeric transition with X-gamma coincidence measurement.
