Evaluation of 233Pa decay data.

An evaluation of the complete scheme and data for (233)Pa decay, including results of the recent measurements, is presented. Several data evaluation procedures were used in the analysis of the half-life data. The half-life has been determined to be 26.971+/-0.013 days. All the gamma-ray emission probabilities ever published have been examined, and the gamma-ray emission probability for the reference 312-keV gamma line is recommended as 38.35+/-0.28%. The calculated internal conversion coefficients and their uncertainties have been used to obtain the complete decay intensity balance. Other decay characteristics have been calculated using the ENSDF analysis program. Finally, a new (233)Pa decay scheme has been built.
