The interplay between the statistical correlations of gamma-ray emission probabilities and efficiency calibration

Appl Radiat Isot. 2004 Feb-Apr;60(2-4):185-90. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2003.11.014.

Abstract

The procedure to determine the statistical correlations between gamma-ray intensities is described here, as well as that required to take these correlations into account. The advantages of using branching-ratios and feeding fractions instead of gamma-ray intensities in the gamma-ray standards are discussed.
