Gamma-ray spectrometry in the decay of 194Ir to 194Pt

As a complement to a resent high-resolution spectrometric investigation of the decay of 194Au to levels of 194Pt, a similar study has been undertaken of the decay of 19-h 194Ir to 194Pt. The two decays populate a similar set of levels in 194Pt, and so the complementary investigations with similar resolution and efficiency permit a direct comparison of the two data sets. Overall there is excellent agreement between the energies of the common γ-ray transitions and also between the deduced energies of the excited states in 194Pt. The 194Ir half-life has been remeasured to be 19.20(2) h.
