Measurement of the Sn, Te, Ba and Pt half-lives for reactor dosimetry application.

Nuclear isomers are investigated to perform precise epithermal neutron dosimetry. One key physical property for reactor dosimetry is the precise knowledge of the isomer half-life. In the list of potential candidates, the half-life values available in the literature or in the recommended database for reactor dosimetry for Sn, Te, Ba and Pt show some discrepancy.
