Disintegration of Ba(139)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:147400
The nuclear radiations from Ba(139) have been investigated with the help of a magnetic lens spectrograph and scintillation counters in coincidence. Beta rays of energy 2.380, 2.227, and 0.822 MeV have been found together with an internal conversion line from a gamma ray of energy 0.163 MeV. The photoelectron spectrum, taken in the lens, showed gamma rays of energies 0.163 and 1.43 MeV. Beta-gamma coincidence experiments, performed with scintillation counters, showed that the 2.23-MeV beta-ray group is in coincidence with the 0.163-MeV gamma ray. The 0.163-MeV line has a K/(L+M) ratio of 7.0 and an internal conversion coefficient alpha(k) of 0.22, both of which correspond to an M1 transition. The connection with the shell model is discussed.
