Beta-particle and gamma-ray emission probabilities in the decay of 160Tb

Abstract

Relative γ-ray intensities in the decay of ¹⁶⁰Tb were precisely measured using two semiconductor detectors. These intensities were used to calculate particle and γ-ray emission probabilities along with their corresponding uncertainties by employing equations derived with standard mathematical error propagating technique (Browne, 1986, 1988).
