Determination of the half-life of Ra 226 has great value because of the wide use of this isotope as a radioactive standard in medical therapy, in industry, and in the preparation of neutron sources. This paper presents both data from the literature and original experimental work concerning the...
Here we report the observation and implications of 226 Ra (half life 1,620 yr) excesses in mid-ocean-ridge basalts. These excesses are probably produced during melting in the mantle and the timescale they impose suggests that they are controlled by kinetic processes, rather than chemical ...
α Standard source Ra-226 Half life:1600 years Main α Energy:4601 KeV(5.55%),4784 KeV(94.45%) Activity range:1nCi-100nCi (37Bq-3.7kBq)(specific activity can be customized according to customer demand.) Common specifications: different specifications can be provided according to customer ...
88, extracted in very minute quantities from pitchblende; 226Ra, its longest-lived isotope, is produced as an intermediate in the uranium series by the emission of an α particle from thorium-230 (ionium); 226Ra emits α particles and gamma rays with a half-life of 1,599 years breaking ...
Ra-226 is the most abundant radium isotope in the ocean with the longest half-life (1600 years). This lecture will focus on the understanding and application of Ra-226 in the deep ocean. I will introduce a global picture of 226Ra distribution throughout the global ocean. The major sources...
a.a highly radioactive luminescent white element of the alkaline earth group of metals. It occurs in pitchblende, carnotite, and other uranium ores, and is used in radiotherapy and in luminous paints. Symbol: Ra; atomic no: 88; half-life of most stable isotope,226Ra: 1620 years; valency...
(also radioactive) and eventuallylead. Four isotopes of radium occur in nature, with an additional 21 isotopes able to be generated synthetically.226Ra is the most abundant isotope, with a half-life of roughly 1600 years, and is a naturally-occurring product of238U decay. Other natural ...
摘要: The half-life of Ra-223 is determined by two methods.Ionization chamber measurements give a value of 11.447(6)d.Gamma well counter measurements give a value of 11.445(13)d.Both values are consistent with the evaluated data and newer determinations....

During the 1 year running time, from November 2015 to November 2016, the rate decreased by 0.032%, as expected from the 1600 y half-life of 226Ra, the dead time decreased to 3.16 ⋅ 10−2 and the peak at 1120 keV energy monotonically shifted by 39 channels. Because of this shift,...
