Abstract

Recommended energies are given for reference gamma rays in the decay of156Eu and156Tb in the photonenergy range 0.8–1.2 MeV with errors of a few electron volts, which are derived from data on gamma transitions from levels of156Gd occurring in (nγ) reactions and the decays of156Eu and156Tb.
