A novel approach to medical radioisotope production using inverse kinematics: a successful production test of the theranostic radionuclide 67Cu
G Souliotis, M Rodrigues, K Wang +7
A novel method for the production of important medical radioisotopes has been developed. The approach is based on performing the nuclear reaction in inverse kinematics, namely send…
Precise measurement of and for the 39.8-keV 3 transition in Rh: Test of internal-conversion theory
N. Nica, J. C. Hardy, V. E. Iacob +9
Neutron-activated sources of Ru and Pd both share the isomeric first-excited state in Rh as a daughter product. From independent measurements of both decays…
Precise half-life measurement of the superallowed emitter 30S
V. E. Iacob, J. C. Hardy, L. Chen +6
We have measured the half-life of 30S, the parent of a superallowed 0+-to-0+ beta transition, to high precision using very pure sources and a 4pi proportional gas counter to detect…
Precise Test of Internal-Conversion Theory: alpha_K Measurements for Transitions in Nine Nuclei Spanning Z values from 45 to 78
J. C. Hardy, N. Nica, V. E. Iacob +1
We have been testing the theory used to calculate internal-conversion coefficients (ICCs) by making a series of measurements of alpha_K values with precision better than +/-2%. So…
Precise measurement of alpha_K for the 88.2-keV M4 transition in 127Te: Test of internal-conversion theory
N. Nica, J. C. Hardy, V. E. Iacob +3
We have measured the K-shell internal conversion coefficient, alpha_K, for the 88.2-keV M4 transition from the 106-day isomer to the ground state in 127Te to be 484(6). When compar…
Precise measurement of branching ratios in the beta decay of 38Ca
H. I. Park, J. C. Hardy, V. E. Iacob +8
We present the full description of a measurement of the branching ratios for the beta-decay of 38Ca. This decay includes five allowed 0+ --> 1+ branches and a superallowed 0+ --> 0…
