The decay of 124Sb (60 d half-life) to levels of 124Te has been studied using two HPGe detectors in singles and coincidence mode. We identify 75 transitions in this decay, including 14 gamma rays, the emission of which are being reported here for the first time. In confirming the existence of 26 well-established levels below 2900 keV excitation, we also introduce 5 other levels at 2490.5, 2618.4, 2747.05, 2834.99, and 2859.4 keV. The data on energies of gamma transitions and the levels are reported at high precision.

International exercise on 124Sb photon emission intensities determination.

Appl Radiat Isot

October 2010

Laboratoire National Henri Becquerel (LNE-LNHB), CEA, LIST, F 91191 Gif-sur-Yvette Cedex, France.

An international exercise, registered as EUROMET project no. 907, was launched to measure both the activity of a solution of (124)Sb and the photon emission intensities of its decay. The same solution was sent by LNE-LNHB to eight participating laboratories, six of which sent results for photon emission intensities both in absolute and in relative terms.
