摘要
The Ac-225 half-life was determined by measuring the activity of Ac-225 sources as a function of time, using various detection techniques: alpha-particle counting with a planar silicon detector at a defined small solid angle and in a nearly-2 pi geometry, 4 pi alpha + beta counting with a windowless CsI sandwich spectrometer and with a pressurised proportional counter, gamma-ray spectrometry with a HPGe detector and with a NaI(TI) well detector. Depending on the technique, the decay was followed for 59-141 d, which is about 6-14 times the Ac-225 half-life. The six measurement results were in good mutual agreement and their mean value is T-1/2(Ac-225)=9.920 (3) d. This half-life value is more precise and better documented than the currently recommended value of 10.0 d, based on two old measurements lacking uncertainty evaluations. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
