# Half-life measurement of 65Ga with gamma-spectroscopy

## TL;DR

This study accurately measures the half-life of 65Ga using gamma-spectroscopy, providing a more precise value that confirms previous estimates but with significantly reduced uncertainty.

## Contribution

The paper presents a new, more precise measurement of 65Ga's half-life, improving upon the only previous experiment conducted over 60 years ago.

## Key findings

- New half-life value: 15.133 ± 0.028 min
- Results agree with previous data but with higher precision
- Enhances nuclear data accuracy for 65Ga

## Abstract

The literature half-life value of 65Ga is based on only one experiment carried out more than 60 years ago and it has a relatively large uncertainty. In the present work this half-life is determined based on the counting of the gamma-rays following the beta-decay of 65Ga. Our new recommended half-life is 15.133 +- 0.028 min which is in agreement with the literature value but almost one order of magnitude more precise.
