Zanotti 209 Bi alpha decay to the ground and to the first excited state have been recently observed for the first time with a large BGO scintillating bolometer. The half-life of 209 Bi is determined to be τ 1/2 =(2.01±0.08)×10 19 yr while the branching ratio for the ground-state to ground-state transition is (... [Phys. Rev.
