Abstract
Measurement of emission probabilities for principal gamma-rays of Gd-159 wi th 4 pi beta (ppc)-gamma (HPGe) coincidence apparatus has given precise val ues as indicated by uncertainties of about 1%. Improved certainties are see n when comparing the present results with emission probabilities evaluated in Nuclear Data Sheets (Helmer, 1994, p. 72) for which the uncertainties ar e about 24%. The improvement resulted in precise decay scheme parameters of the nuclide. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
