On 146Gd decay

The 146Gd decay has been investigated. More accurate relative intensities of some conversional K-lines and γ-rays are presented. The mass-separated 146Gd sources and the sets of detectors with different resolutions and operating volumes have been used to measure the gamma spectra. The complete gamma spectrum has been measured by the 4096-channel analyzer. The radiochemical separation of 146Gd nuclei from the 146Eu daughter product each 0.5 hours has been carried out. For the further improvement of the decay scheme of 146Gd it is intended to use high-rate repetition -each 3 minutes - of the radiochemical purification of 146Gd in the process of the γ-ray spectrum measurements
