Precise Measurement of the Gamma-ray Emission Probabilities for 116mIn with Half-life of 54.15 min.

Abstract

The γ-ray emission probabilities for 116mIn with half-life of 54.15 min have been measured by a 4πβ(pc)-γ(HPGe) coincidence apparatus using a live-timed two-dimensional data acquisition system. Eleven γ-ray peaks of 116mIn were recognised and the uncertainties of the measured emission probabilities for principal γ-rays were found to be less than 1%. On the other hand, the relative intensities for 18 energy γ-rays were determined with improved uncertainties by an ordinary γ-ray spectrometer. The decay parameters were determined with uncertainties of approximately 1%using these values and the evaluated values of weak γ-ray intensities and the internal conversion coefficients.
