Measurement of the 214Po half-life by the DEVIS track setup
Abstract
Measurement of the 214Po half-life with the DEVIS track setup at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP, Moscow) by means of a procedure based on determining lifetimes of individual nuclei is described. The value obtained for the 214Po half-life is 163.8 ± 3.0 µs. The possibility of reaching the accuracy of the measurements that is required for testing the statement that the decay of some nuclei has a nonexponential character and the source intensity necessary for this are discussed.
