Abstrakt: New half-life values for isomeric states in 237 Np, 233 Pa and 227 Ac were measured by means of 4πα(LS)-γ coincidence counting with digital data acquisition. A careful assessment of uncertainties was carried out, and the new results are found to be much more precise than any previous measurement result. The half-lives were found to be T 1/2 Np237,E=59.54keV=67.86±0.09ns, T 1/2 Pa233,E=86.47keV=36.44±0.10ns and T 1/2 Ac227,E=27.37keV=38.56±0.15ns, respectively. A comprehensive study of literature data was undertaken for a new data evaluation that includes the results from this work.
