摘要: Abstract The radionuclide 125 Sb is a long-lived fission product, which decays to Te by negative beta emission with half-life of 1008 day. decay followed the several gamma radiations, ranging from low medium energy, that can suitably be used for high-resolution detector calibrations, heat calculations and in many other applications. In this work, has been studied detail. complete published experimental data relative ray intensities compiled. consistency analysis was performed discrepancies found at energies. Evaluation discrepant carried out using Normalized Residual RAJEVAL methods. scheme balance branching ratios, internal conversion coefficients, populating depopulating transitions levels. work resulted consistent factor equal 29.59(13) %, determined new evaluated set absolute probabilities. also shown 22.99% delayed intensity fraction as outgoing 58 d isomeric 144 keV energy level 77.01% prompt reaching ground state excited states. results are discussed compared previous evaluations. present includes additional sets were not included A recommended probabilities presented.
