On the (209)Po half-life error and its confirmation: an answer to the critique

Pommé et al. published a paper claiming that the (209)Po half-life is 20 % higher than the erroneous value of 102 (5) a used for 50 years. Collé and Collé published a critique saying that ‘this claim cannot withstand critical scrutiny’. In this work, counterarguments are presented to the critique. T...

description Pommé et al. published a paper claiming that the (209)Po half-life is 20 % higher than the erroneous value of 102 (5) a used for 50 years. Collé and Collé published a critique saying that ‘this claim cannot withstand critical scrutiny’. In this work, counterarguments are presented to the critique. The experiment has been continued and a new intermediate half-life value of 122.7 (27) a was obtained. A brief review is made of the (209)Po half-life value by Collé et al. and a recommended value of 122.9 (23) a is derived from both experiments.
