摘要
We report on a measurement of the Ti-44 half-life aimed at lowering existing systematic uncertainties in this value, which is important to astrophysics. The half-life was measured by following the decay of Ti-44 relative to Co-60 for about 5 yr and the measurements were performed independently in three laboratories - Argonne, Jerusalem, and Torino. We suggest to combine our result, 59.0 +/- 0.6 yr, with the one from the accompanying Letter by Gorres et al., 50.3 +/- 1.3 yr, to obtain a current "best value" for the half-life of Ti-44 of 59.2 +/- 0.6 yr (1 sigma error).
