Half-lives of radionuclides used in nuclear geochronology and cosmochronology (evaluated data)

Evaluated half-life values are given for the radionuclides sup 2 sup 6 Al, sup 4 sup 0 K, sup 5 sup 3 Mn, sup 6 sup 0 Fe, sup 8 sup 7 Rb, sup 9 sup 3 Zr, sup 9 sup 8 Tc, sup 1 sup 0 sup 7 Pd, sup 1 sup 2 sup 9 I, sup 1 sup 3 sup 5 Cs, sup 1 sup 4 sup 6 Sm, sup 1 sup 7 sup 6 Lu, sup 1 sup 8 sup 2 Hf, sup 1 sup 8 sup 7 Re, sup 2 sup 0 sup 5 Pb, sup 2 sup 3 sup 2 Th, sup 2 sup 3 sup 5 U, sup 2 sup 3 sup 8 U, sup 2 sup 4 sup 4 Pu and sup 2 sup 4 sup 7 Cm. These were obtained from an analysis of published information up to 2001. These half-lives are used in geochronology and cosmochronology to determine different radiometric ages in the history of the earth, solar system and galaxy

Uncertainties in nuclear decay data evaluations

International audienceOver the years, scientists have compiled and evaluated experimental results and combined these with theoretical studies with the goal of obtaining the best values, and their uncertainties, for the quantities related to radioactive decay. To meet the demand, an international group, the Decay Data Evaluation Project, was organised in 1995. The methodology adopted by this group is detailed. Some examples are given explaining how the final uncertainties are assessed from the experimental results and their uncertainties

Nuclide Guide and International Chart of Nuclides - 2006

New versions of the Nuclide Guide and the Chart of Nuclides were developed as a result of Russian-Chinese collaboration. The Nuclide Guide contains the basic information on more than 3000 radioactive and stable nuclides. The characteristics of isomers with half-lives more than 1 ms are included. For each nuclide spin, parity, mass of nuclide, magnetic moment (if available), mass excess, half-life or abundance, decay modes, branching ratios, emitted particles, energies of most intense gamma-rays and their intensities, decay energies and mean values of radiation energy per decay are given. For stable and natural long-lived nuclides cross-sections of thermal neutron induced activation are indicated. The information presented in the Guide was compiled from 5 sources: 1) ENSDF-2006, 2) atomic mass evaluation-2003 by Audi and Wapstra, 3) interactive data bases at web-sites www.nndc.bnl.gov, www.nucleide.org, 4) original evaluations of authors, 5) recent publications. The International Chart of Nuclides was developed on the basis of information presented in Nuclide Guide
