Abstract

Estimated values of the half-life, the energy and absolute emission probability of alpha-particles for radionuclides, forming part of the standard spectrometric alpha-radiation sources: 226Ra with daughter decay products 233U, 238Pu, and 239Pu, are presented as a draft of standard reference data. The recommended values are obtained by analyzing and selecting published estimated and experimental data (up to December 2000).
