Abstract:
The existing data of
175Hf half-life are few and have large differences, which is unfavorable to use nuclear parameters accurately. In this experiment,
175Lu was bombarded by accelerator proton beam and purified by HDEHP extraction leaching resin. Then high purity
175Hf was obtained,which is free carrier and no interference of
181Hf. Decontamination factors for
65Zn and
56Co respectively are 5.2×10
3 and 2.3×10
3.
137Cs, as a supervision source, was measured lasting 40 days with
175Hf. The half-life value of
175Hf is (70.73±0.25) d obtained by fitting the relation between the ratio of 343 keV and 661 keV γ-ray counting rate and time.
