Abstract

Gamma emissions in the decay of 160.44 day isomer 177 m Lu were analyzed with a 60 cc, coaxial HPGe detector. The energies and intensities of 50 gamma transition – 40 of which belong to the daughter 177Hf, that was excited by beta decay of the isomer, and 10 to the isomeric transition in 177Lu were precisely determined. These precise values have resulted in an internally consistent decay scheme for 177 m Lu. These gamma intensity and gamma emission probability measurements will help in making the long lived 177 m Lu available as a calibration standard for HPGe detectors and also for other applications.
