DECAY OF Au$sup 196$m

Journal Article · · Canadian Journal of Physics (Canada)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1139/p60-149· OSTI ID:4106335
The isomeric state in Au/sup 196/ decays to the ground state with an initial M4 transition of energy 175.5 approximately 0.5 kev, followed by 145.2 approximately 0.5 kev and 188.8 approximately 0.5 kev transitions in cascade; a transition of 85.0 approximately 0.5 kev is probably also in cascade with these transitions. There is evidence of a weak 135.9 approximately 0.5 kev transition converted in platinum, indicating a small electron capture branch in the decay. The half life of the isomeric state is 9.5 approximately 0.3 hours. (auth)
