Tm162 missing from RadioactiveDecay 5.6 database

Hello,
I realised that the radioisotope Tm162 (which is produced by the radioactive decay process in one of my simulations) does not have an entry in the RadioactiveDecay 5.6 database (the file z69.a162 is missing), although it decays with an half-life of 21 min (e.g., as reported in NUDAT 3.0, although in that database there is detailed decay information only for an isomeric state with ~24 s half-life)

Am I missing something there?

Cheers
R

Hi R.,

Thank you very much for reporting this. I noticed that the file was dropped some time ago. I have opened a bugzilla ticket for this issue.

As a workaround, could you please add the following file [1] manually?
In my case, the file is placed here: /usr/local/geant4/data/RadioactiveDecay5.6/z69.a162

After adding the file I am able to see the gammas from Er as expected.
