Decay scheme study of ~(126)Sn and ~(126)Sb

摘要

To study the decay scheme of ~(126)Sn, two samples of a purified solution were measured by gamma-ray spectrometry and the relative photon emission intensities were determined. The ~(126)Sb~(m) isomeric branching ratio was derived to be 18.6 (6)percent. The maximum beta energy of the ~(126)Sn decay was checked by liquid scintillation. The K(beta)/K(alpha) intensity ratio of Sb was determined being 0.226 (11). These new experimental results were used to re-examine the whole decay scheme of ~(126)Sn and its daughters.
