Dear all,
I am looking for a good figure source of natural decay chains (U-series, Th-series, Ac-series).
I am trying to get a pictures with Q-value, intensity (branching ratio) and half-life. I was looking up on internet, but it didn't work.
Thanks

I think that the link proposed by Florian Glodeanu answers your request.
In case you need additional decay chains or need more flexibility in producing decay chain's pictures you can try JANIS.
Using JANIS Web you can easily produce the picture below (with various additional display options), for this just click "[open]" on the "Decay path" line in the janisweb link below.
Using JANIS Software you will have access to additional information by right-clicking on the nuclide symbol, such as half-live, Q values, etc. For this just launch the JANIS software with Java Web start from the JANIS home page below.
See JANIS publication below for more information.

Dear all,
Thank for your kindness.
I want to have a figure like the attached one. This includes Q-value, half-life, branching ratio.
But I found them in theses (pdf version), "cut and paste" makes the pictures blurred.
I tried all of the option you suggested, but they does not suit what I'm looking for.
The decay chain in the (Z,A) plan is not available with JANIS (but it is available in the (A,Z) plan). The closest and most compact figure I could get is the one below. Only half-live are missing (but that option will be added to JANIS thanks to your feedback).
Dear Emmeric,
Thank you in advance.
Yeah, as you said, only half-life are missing.
Anyway, I really like your work (the JANIS).
I think I will introduce it to my colleagues since it is very useful.
Dear Bui,
The sand, which is probably near the Fukushima, or tea sample which is again grown in nearby area will be a good example. You can easily find articles about sand. TAEK ,Turkish atomic agency, is sending us this kind of samples time to time from northern part of Turkey because there was a nuclear plant disaster in Russia, just across the black sea, which is so called Cernobil explosion and so on. This kind of agencies (like IAEA) keeps radioactive samples from these regions for future research.
Good luck.
Hi Celik,
I am sorry for confusing you.
I am looking for figure source, not environmental source.
Thanks to you, btw, I edited my question.
Dear Khai,
All right. What do you really mean by figure source? If you clarify that part more, or maybe give a small example, I may help. If you simply mean a picture (figure) to explain to students or to show anybody about decay chains, there are some books. Practical Gamma Ray Spectrometry by Gilmore is very good one. The section 16 in this book has both figures and tables of what you want; such as half lives, emission probabilities, and so on.
Good luck.
Dear Celik,
I want a figure with all information of branching ratio, Q-value, half-lives.
Such as this one
dear Bui, you can get all information to make a figure you need by using on type of the above figure, because there is no one contains all information you want.
