AbstractThe IUPAC-IUGS joint Task Group "Isotopes in Geosciences" recommends a value of (49.61 ± 0.16) Ga for the half life of 87 Rb, corresponding to a decay constant  87 = (1.3972 ± 0.0045) × 10 -11 a -1 .

“…Proper estimations of uncertainties need to be performed to produce a consistent set of published data (Woods and Collins, 2004). It is the opinion of the authors that it is justified to increase the uncertainty of the half-life reported by Jordan and Blanke (1967) to cover the discrepancy in their data; the adjusted half-life is 18.718 (18) days.…”

“…By contrast, calibration with alanine against the national standard sources requires only two corrections: one for 60 Co decay with a precisely known half-life of 1925.23 days (Nagy, Puhl, et al 2000) and another for differences between the mass energy absorption coefficients for water and soft tissue, which is small (<1%) and reasonably well-known (Woods, et al 2004). …”
