Abstract

Manganese activities produced by deuteron bombardment of chromium powder and radiochemically purified both by standard chemical techniques and ion-exchange chromatography, have been counted for a period of 2500 hr. The half-life of Mn54 is determined to be 291±1 days, while that of Mn52 is found to be 5.72±0.02 days.
