Standardisation and measurement of the decay scheme data of 237Np

Standardisation and measurement of the decay scheme data of 237Np

Within the framework of a EUROMET project, a solution of 237Np/ 233Pa at equilibrium has been standardised by 4π(PC)-γ counting. An intrinsic Ge spectrometer was employed to measure relevant γ-ray emission probabilities. Good agreement was obtained for those pertaining to the decay of 233Pa, but not...

Zusammenfassung:Within the framework of a EUROMET project, a solution of 237Np/ 233Pa at equilibrium has been standardised by 4π(PC)-γ counting. An intrinsic Ge spectrometer was employed to measure relevant γ-ray emission probabilities. Good agreement was obtained for those pertaining to the decay of 233Pa, but not for the γ-ray emissions following the decay of 237Np. The cause of such discrepancies is discussed.
