AI Article Synopsis
- Research in the early 1970s measured gamma rays from the β decay of the Am radionuclide, with a half-life of 2.05 hours, using a specialized Ge(Li) detector and a pure Am source.
- The current analysis identified several weak gamma rays in the isotope Cm, expanding the understanding of its decay process.
- This work allowed for the deducing and enhancement of the Am decay scheme compared to earlier knowledge.
Article Abstract
Gamma rays following the β decay of the Am radionuclide (T = 2.05 h) were measured in early 1970s with a co-axial Ge(Li) detector using a chemically and isotopically pure, mass-separated Am source. These data were analyzed in the present work where several weak γ rays in Cm were identified. The Am decay scheme was deduced and extended when compared to the previously known one.
