Materials scientists, geologists, and specialists in mining, archeology, environmental science, food analysis and medicine will find this database helpful in determining isotropic composition, total and partial thermal radiative cross-sections, Westcott factors, prompt and delayed energies of gamma rays, decay modes, half-lives and branching ratios in prompt gamma activation analysis (PGAA) projects.
Results of the first experiment to search for the radiative decay mode of the free neutron are reported.
The fastest decay mode occurs when a positron having an antiparallel quantum spin forms a bound state with an electron of the same quantum spin state.
