Abstract
Half-life measurements of 82Sr were performed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) using gamma-ray spectrometry and a 4 pressurized ionization chamber. The 82Sr half-life was determined to be 25.36 ± 0.03 days (k=1) using the gamma-ray spectrometry system and 25.34 ± 0.02 days (k=1) using the 4 pi-gamma pressurized ionization chamber.
