Tables for evaluating Bateman equation coefficients for radioactivity calculations

January 1, 1954

Tables of decay constants and functions thereof are presented to simplify the problem of calculating the constants involved in the Bateman equation. These tables make it possible to calculate any constant involved in any of the four radioactive series by a maximum of three mathematical operations, either by three divisions or by two multiplications and a division. They are useful and time-saving where a large number of such calculations are involved.
