Photon emission intensities in the decay of 108mAg and 110mAg.

Abstract: This study focuses on two radioisotopes of silver, 108mAg and 110mAg, characterized by a complex decay scheme. Each isotope has two disintegration modes, the isomeric transition leading to the daughter isotope (108Ag and 110Ag, respectively) with a short half-life. The radioactive solution was obtained by neutron activation on silver powder enriched in 109Ag. Gamma-spectrometry was carried out using a calibrated high purity germanium detector. The main relative photon emission intensities for both radionuclides were obtained and compared with previously published values. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
