Abstract：
The accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) is an effective method for the determination of the half-life of long-lived radionuclides. In this paper, we report a method for measurement of the half-life of ⁷⁹Se. The number of ⁷⁹Se atoms was determined from measured ⁷⁹Se/Se absolute ratios with the AMS system at the China Institute of Atomic Energy and the decay rate of ⁷⁹Se was determined by counting the emitted β-rays with a liquid scintillation spectrometer. The major improvements of our measurements include using the high abundance of an ⁷⁹Se sample which was cooled for many years to exclude the interference of short-lived nuclides, the extraction of SeO₂^- molecular ions, that results in a suppression of the ⁷⁹Br background by as much as about five orders of magnitude. Also, an AMS measurement of the absolute ratio of ⁷⁹Se/Se was developed to avoid systematic errors. The results show that ⁷⁹Se/Se is (2.35±0.12)×10^-7 in the reference sample and the radioactivity of ⁷⁹Se is (1.24±0.05) Bq/g, so the half-life of ⁷⁹Se is (2.78±0.18)×10⁵ a.
