Gadolinium-153 was standardized for activity by live-timed anticoincidence counting and an ampoule was submitted to the international reference system (SIR). Absolute emission intensities for the main γ rays were determined with calibrated high-purity germanium (HPGe) and lithium-drifted silicon (Si(Li)) detectors. A revised decay scheme is indicated, with no probability of direct electron capture to the Eu ground state. Triple-to-double coincidence ratio (TDCR) efficiency curves indicate that the revised decay scheme is consistent with experiment. Half-life measurements agree with a previous NIST determination and show no sensitivity to chemical environment.
钆-153通过实时反符合计数进行活度标准化,且一支安瓿已提交至国际参考系统(SIR)。使用校准过的高纯锗(HPGe)探测器和锂漂移硅(Si(Li))探测器测定了主要γ射线的绝对发射强度。给出了一个修订后的衰变方案,不存在直接电子俘获至铕基态的可能性。三重重合与双重重合比(TDCR)效率曲线表明修订后的衰变方案与实验结果一致。半衰期测量结果与美国国家标准与技术研究院(NIST)先前的测定结果相符,且未显示出对化学环境的敏感性。
