title: Activity standardization, photon emission probabilities and half-life measurements of (177)Lu.
abstract: Activity standardization of (177)Lu and measurement of two nuclear parameters were done. Activity standardization of (177)Lu was done utilizing the 4πβ-γ coincidence method with a combined standard uncertainty of 0.28%. Emission probability of 112.95keV and 208.37keV was measured by calibrated spectrometer with HPGe detector. The efficiency was computed with MCNP code and validated using experimental points. Half-life was derived from prolonged measurement of peak area by three different spectrometer systems and also from measurement with ionization chamber.
