Abstract
The half-life of short-lived 215Po was studied in a new experimental setup by means of liquid scintillation counting. The new value of 1.781 (5) ms was obtained by offline data analysis using the delayed coincidence method. Along with the half-life determination, a careful assessment of uncertainties was carried out. The result was compared with data available from the literature.
