Theoretical Activities

Ba-133, 10.54 uCi on July 1, 2008, half life 10.51 years, 32.9% for 80.9979 keV line, 18.34% for 302.8508 keV line, 62.05% for the 356.0129 keV line. The sample serial # 129791 had an activity of 5.87 uCi on May 27, 2017


= [math]\left (0.329 \right )\left ( 5.87 \times 10^{-6} \mbox{Ci} \right) \left (\frac{ (3.7 \times 10^{10} \mbox{Hz}}{\mbox{Ci}} \right)= 71455.51 Hz [/math] for the 80.9979 keV line
= [math]\left (0.1834 \right )\left ( 5.87 \times 10^{-6} \mbox{Ci} \right) \left (\frac{ (3.7 \times 10^{10} \mbox{Hz}}{\mbox{Ci}} \right)= 39745.77 Hz [/math] for the 302.8508 keV line

Now compute the expected rate for February 5, 2017.

The activity on Feb 5, 2017 is 3.944 uCi, so the expected rates for the 2 lines are

= [math]\left (0.99937 \right )\left ( 3.944 \times 10^{-6} \mbox{Ci} \right) \left (\frac{ (3.7 \times 10^{10} \mbox{Hz}}{\mbox{Ci}} \right)= 145,836 Hz [/math] for the 1274 keV line
= [math]\left (1.788 \right )\left ( 3.944 \times 10^{-6} \mbox{Ci} \right) \left (\frac{ (3.7 \times 10^{10} \mbox{Hz}}{\mbox{Ci}} \right)= 260919.264 Hz [/math] for the 511 keV line

Now compute the expected rate for February 9, 2017

The activity on Feb 9, 2017 is 3.933 uCi, so the expected rate for the 2 lines are


= [math]\left (0.99937 \right )\left ( 3.933 \times 10^{-6} \mbox{Ci} \right) \left (\frac{ (3.7 \times 10^{10} \mbox{Hz}}{\mbox{Ci}} \right)= 145,429.32 Hz [/math] for the 1274 keV line
= [math]\left (1.788 \right )\left ( 3.933 \times 10^{-6} \mbox{Ci} \right) \left (\frac{ (3.7 \times 10^{10} \mbox{Hz}}{\mbox{Ci}} \right)= 260,191.55 Hz [/math] for the 511 keV line

Now compute the expected rate for Feb 12, 2017

The activity on Feb 12, 2017 is 3.924 uCi, so the expected rate for the 2 lines are

= [math]\left (0.99937 \right )\left ( 3.924 \times 10^{-6} \mbox{Ci} \right) \left (\frac{ (3.7 \times 10^{10} \mbox{Hz}}{\mbox{Ci}} \right)= 145096.5316 Hz [/math] for the 1274 keV line
= [math]\left (1.788 \right )\left ( 3.924 \times 10^{-6} \mbox{Ci} \right) \left (\frac{ (3.7 \times 10^{10} \mbox{Hz}}{\mbox{Ci}} \right)= 259596.144 Hz [/math] for the 511 keV line
