Abstract
The alpha-particle emission probabilities (P(alpha)) of Pu-239 have be en measured using material of highest enrichment and radiochemical pur ity, thin sources produced by vacuum sublimation, and high-resolution a spectroscopy with ion-implanted Si detectors (PIPS). The results for the major emissions are P(alpha0.07)=0.7077+/-0.0014, P(alpha13)=0.17 11+/-0.0014 and P(alpha51)=0.1194+/-0.0007, which for the P(alpha0.07) is about 3.6% lower than the recent evaluated value in the literature .
