   Spectrometric and Radiation-Sensitive Instruments
   Instruments utilizing the electromagnetic spectrum for analysis often employ specialized detectors sensitive to narrow bandwidths. In thermal infrared sensing, instruments rely on Planck's Law applied to black-body radiation. However, the presence of specific atmospheric constituents complicates the signal. For instance, water vapor in…

   | ${}^{83}\text{Kr}$ | $11.50$ | Stable | Indefinite | Low magnetic moment. |
   | ${}^{84}\text{Kr}$ | $57.00$ | Stable | Indefinite | Dominant atmospheric form. |
   | ${}^{86}\text{Kr}$ | $17.30$ | $\beta^-$ Decay | $1.1 \times 10^{11}$ years | Relevant in deep underground detectors. |
   The radioactive isotope ${}^{85}\text{Kr}$ is not naturally abundant but is a crucial byproduct of nuclear fission. Its presence in terrestrial environments, particularly in closed systems like deep liquid noble gas detectors (e.g., …
