Abstract
The intensities and energies of rays from 77.3-day are especially useful for calibration of Ge(Li) detectors in the range 0.8-3.5 MeV. We have reexamined the -ray spectrum using a Ge(Li)-NaI (Tl) coincidence-anticoincidence spectrometer. This study revealed five previously unreported rays with energies of 896, 1140.2, 1336, 1443.2, and 1461.9 keV, all of which could be assigned to transitions from levels already established in the decay. Other weak rays with energies of 2276.1, 2374.2, 2522.6, 3599.2, and 3612.5 keV have been confirmed and their intensities have been determined more accurately. A summary of the latest available data for the decay is presented in the form of weighted averages for -ray energies and intensities and an improved decay scheme.
