Calculation of Local Energy Deposition Due to Electron Capture and Internal Convension

New York, Oak Ridge and Atlanta

ABSTRACT

Tabulated values of the average electron-type energy emitted per disintegration, the photon yields, and the specific gamma-ray constant are presented for the radionuclides ¹³¹Cs, ⁵¹Cr, ⁵⁷Co, ¹⁹⁷Hg, ²⁰³Hg, ¹²⁵I, ⁷⁵Se, ⁸⁵Sr, ^87mSr and ^99mTc which are of current interest in nuclear medicine. Our method of calculating these parameters directly from nuclear decay scheme data is described in the Appendix.
