Determination of the half-life of HF-178m

Coincidence counting techniques were used in the determination of the half-life of Hf-178m. The experimental sample, essentially a mixture of Hf-177 and Hf-178, was irradiated with thermal neutrons to produce Hf-178m and Hf-179m isomers. The isomeric transition of Hf-178m is followed by a cascad...
