Abstract

Half-lives (T _1/2) of several states which decay by delayed γ transitions were determined from time-gated triple γ coincidence method. We determined, for the first time, the half-life of 330.6 + x state in ¹⁰⁸Tc and the half-life of 19/2^- state in ¹³³Te based on the new level schemes. Five half-lives of ^{95, 97}Sr, ⁹⁹Zr, ¹³⁴Te and ¹³⁷Xe are consistent with the previously reported ones. These results indicate that this new method is useful for measuring the half-lives.
