Equations of Radioactive Decay and Growth

With this notation the general solution is written, as in the Bateman equations, for : (12) where. and so on. As an illustration, we compute the amount of 3.15 d 199Au formed by two successive (n,γ) reactions when 1 g 197Au is exposed for 30 h in a neutron flux of 1 x 1014cm-2s1. The chain of reactions is. We use (12) for three-member chain ................
