Abstract

Abstract: The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) performed new standardization measurements for 64 Cu. As part of this work the photon emission probability for the main gamma-ray line and the half-life were determined using several high-purity germanium (HPGe) detectors. Half-life determinations were also carried out with a NaI(Tl) well counter and two pressurized ionization chambers. Highlights: Measurements of photon emission probability of 64 Cu. Measurement of 64 Cu half-life. High-purity germanium detectors for gamma-ray spectrometry measurements.
