Precise test of internal-conversion theory: K measurements for transitions in nine nuclei spanning 45 Z 78. Academic Article

abstract

• We have been testing the theory used to calculate internal-conversion coefficients (ICCs) by making a series of measurements of K values with precision better than 2%. So far we have measured E3 transitions in three nuclei, 103Rh, 111Cd and 134Cs; and M4 transitions in six nuclei, 119Sn, 125Te, 127Te, 137Ba, 193Ir and 197Pt. Together, these span a wide range of A and Z values. In all cases, the results strongly favor Dirac-Fock calculations in which the final-state electron wave function has been computed in an atomic field that includes the vacancy created by the internal-conversion process.
