Abstract
Stock solutions of 233Th were produced by the 232Th(n,γ) reaction and multiple purifications were used to obtain relative intensities of weak transitions. Liquid scintillation counting (absolute disintegration rates) and γ-ray spectroscopy with HPGe detectors yielded absolute photon intensities. Absolute intensities in % (with statistical uncertainties) of prominent radiations (L and K X-rays; 29, 86, and 459 keV γ-rays) are 8.23(8), 1.32(10), 2.17(1), 1.843(2), and 0.989(2), respectively. These intensities are more precise and ∼30% lower than previous results.
