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

Actual Efficiency

There is a small issue with the calibration when plotting the results in ROOT. The binning along with the calibration create a picket fencing effect that incorrectly displays the results. The effect is shown below.
