Abstract
The energies and intensities of the gamma and X-rays in the decay of Y b-169 (32d) have been measured with a low energy photon spectrometer ( LEPS) and a high purity germanium (HPGe) detector. This source is reco mmended for use as a standard for low-energy efficiency calibration of such detectors. It is also proposed to use this source as a standard for conversion electrons, as the multipolarities and mixing ratios are well known for most strong transitions.
