title: Half-life and X-ray emission probabilities of 55Fe.
abstract: The X-ray emission probabilities of the Mn-K(alpha) and Mn-K(beta) radiation in the decay of 55Fe were measured with a calibrated Si(Li) spectrometer, resulting in 0.245(7) and 0.0338(9), respectively. A half-life of 1003.5(21) day was measured using the same detector.
