RE: Gamma Energies online: a cautionary tale



To comment on Michael's email, the most energetic electron emission for

Pd-103 is listed at NuDATA as being 356.82(8) keV at 0.0000075(4)% intensity

due to EC. Note that the tables there are the more useful "radiation type".

What you see is what you get at NuDAT - the actual emitted spectrum by

radiation type.



Re. the RADAR site:

If you download the Excel file at the RADAR site,you can do searches for

specific isotopes within Excel.

p.s. If you look at the properties of the file, one finds that it was, in

fact, compiled by Dr. Michael Stabin.

> The point is this: there IS NO SUCH BETA DECAY for this isotope!



I don't think there is any beta decay for this nuclide. The RADAR decay data

compendium (http://www.doseinfo-radar.com/RADARDecay.html) (which is not

directly searchable, btw), uses data from the Brookhaven site, and shows as

the only electron emissions:



E-AU-L    2.39 keV, 90%

E-AU-K   17 keV, 16.55%



Would you agree with this?
