Abstract

A draft for certifying reference data is presented as recommended values for the energies and absolute probabilities of emission for characteristic x-rays and low-energy gamma rays, together with the half-lives of the radionuclides 44Ti + 44Sc, 54Mn, 55Fe, 57Co, 65Zn, 109Cd, 207Bi, and 241Am. The recommended values have been obtained by analysis and selection from published estimated and experimental data on the basis of the information available in January 2003.
