A new evaluation of the decay data for < sup > 166 < /sup > Ho

Appl Radiat Isot. 2024 Feb 23;207:111230. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111230. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe β--emitter 166Ho is of interest as a potential radiolabel for therapeutic medical applications. A new decay data evaluation for 166Ho has been performed using the Decay Data Evaluation Project (DDEP) methodology. New recommended values for the half-life, γ-ray emission probabilities, β-- branching ratios, and other relevant nuclear and atomic data are provided. This paper provides a summary of the evaluation; the complete set of recommended data tables and detailed evaluator comments are available at the DDEP website.PMID:38457857 | DOI:10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111230
