Half-Lives of Radionuclides. I

Abstract

Half-lives of thirty radionuclides are reported. Most of the samples were chemically purified after bombardment. In general, the activity of a given sample was followed for two or more half-lives, employing a gamma ionization chamber, gamma scintillation counter, or a Geiger-Mueller counter. The data were analyzed by the least squares method. Some of the half-life values are significantly different from earlier ones; others merely confirm those already established.
