Gamma-ray energies in the decay of 38Cl.
In order to resolve a long-standing discrepancy of some 30 standard deviations between the two most precise previously reported values of the γ-ray energies in the (38)Cl decays, we have undertaken a new precision measurement of the decay energies using a variety of different sources for energy calibration. The deduced energies from the present work are 1642.668 ± 0.010 and 2167.395 ± 0.010 keV. These results agree very well with one of the previous reports and disagree with the other.
