Abstract
Theγ-spectrum of a neutronactivated probe of natural Er2O3 revealed an additional peak at 55 keV, which was attributed to the characteristicK-Röntgenstrahlung from the decay of Er165 by measurement of its half-life in a NaJ-wellcrystal. The activation cross section for thermal reactor neutrons for Er164 (n, γ) Er165 has been determined to σ A =20±7 barn. The averaged conversion coefficient of the 111, 116 and 124 keV γ-rays from Er171→Tm171 have been remeasured with scintillation counter equipment.
