New Measurements of Internal Conversion Coefficients in Cd.

The 7.5-day beta decay of Ag is studied with a 60 cc HPGe gamma spectrometer system and a high transmission Mini-Orange magnetic spectrometer. Precise gamma energies and relative intensities of fourteen gamma transitions and conversion electron intensities of sixteen conversion lines of eleven gamma transitions have been determined. Normalized Peak to Gamma method has been used for the determination of and conversion coefficients of most of the gamma transitions in Cd for the first time, and compared with the theoretical values for assignment of multipolarities. The present conversion electron intensities would be of great use for calibrating electron detectors and electron transporters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
