Abstract
The decay of the naturally occuring 176Lu nucleus has been reinvestigated using coaxial and planar HPGe detectors. Energy and intensity values of the three main γ rays are given with an improved precision. The 401.04-keV γ-ray was measured in single γ-spectra and its intensity I = 0.48% was deduced. The 176Lu half life was measured using a 133Ba standard γ-activity source mixed with the Lu 2O 3 sample, found to be T 1 2 = (3.73 ± 0.05)×10 10 years. A revised 176Lu decay scheme has been derived.
