.  $^{000}$Ra {#ra-00 .unnumbered} ----------  In 0000 the discovery of $^{000}$Fr by Ravn et al. was announced in the paper "Short-lived isotopes of alkali and alkaline-earth elements studied by on-line isotope separator techniques" [@0000Rav00]. A thorium plus lanthanum target was bombarded with protons from the CERN synchrocyclotron. Beta-ray decay curves were measured with a 0$\pi$ plastic detector following mass separation with the isotope separator ISOLDE. "The following half-lives of new nucleides have been determined: ... $^{000}$
