Abstract

A complete re-evaluation of the 137Cs β‒ decay scheme has been performed within the scope of the Decay Data Evaluation Project (DDEP), taking full advantage of the most recent measurements. An evaluated half-life of 30.018 (22) years is recommended, along with a full revision of the β‒ decay branching ratios that also results in a re-evaluation of the absolute emission probability of the 662-keV gamma ray to give a value of 85.01 (20)%. Recommendations for new measurements are also suggested.
