A partial decay scheme study of 82Rb and consequences for radiation dose measurements

Int J Rad Appl Instrum A. 1987;38(3):185-90. doi: 10.1016/0883-2889(87)90085-2.

Abstract

Measurements of the relative emission rates of the 776 keV gamma ray, the positrons and the K x-rays in the decay of 82Rb have been repeated. This has led to the finding that the gamma ray to positron ratio is 0.1578 +/- 0.0019 and that the 776 keV gamma-ray probability per decay is (15.12 +/- 0.18)%.
