Half-life of the nuclear cosmochronometer ¹⁷⁶Lu measured with a windowless 4π solid angle scintillation detector

RADIOACTIVITY ¹⁷⁶Lu(β^-), (EC); measured decay products, Eγ, Iγ; deduced T_1/2, decay constant. Comparison with available data. A windowless 4π solid angle detector based upon bismuth germanate (BGO) scintillation crystals, where a natural Lu sample is located inside of the detector.
