Lifetime measurements of 214Po and 212Po with the CTF liquid scintillator detector at LNGS

Borexino Collaboration, G. Bellini, J. Benziger +92

We have studied the alpha decays of 214Po into 210Pb and of 212Po into 208Pb tagged by the coincidence with the preceding beta decays from 214Bi and 212Bi, respectively. The employ…
