AI Article Synopsis
- New measurements were conducted on photon emission intensities in the decay of U-235 using a source prepared from a U-235 solution on a glass plate.
- Standardization used alpha counting within a defined solid angle, achieving a reference activity with a 0.7% combined uncertainty.
- Gamma spectrometry utilized calibrated high-purity germanium detectors, with adjustments made for source geometry and coincidence summing effects, leading to a reference line intensity at 185.72 keV with a 1.3% relative standard uncertainty.
Article Abstract
New measurements of photon emission intensities in the decay of U-235 were performed. Source was prepared by deposition of a U-235 solution on glass plate. Standardization was carried out by defined solid angle alpha counting, giving the reference activity with 0.7% relative combined uncertainty. Gamma spectrometry was performed with accurately calibrated high-purity germanium detectors. Corrections for source geometry and coincidence summing effects were applied. The reference line (185.72keV) intensity was obtained with 1.3% relative standard uncertainty.
