Research output › peer-review

Abstract

Measurements with a low counting geometry and a 99.999% U235 source were carried out to determine branching ratios in the α decay. The U235 half-life was calculated, relative to that of U238. The result is T12(U235)=(6.85±0.09)×108 yr. RADIOACTIVITY U235; measured α-decay branching; deduced T12 α emission.
