STUDY OF THE GAMMA-RAY AND INNER BREMSSTRAHLUNG TRANSITIONS IN THE DECAY OF TIN-113
A fast-slow coincidence spectrometer was used to study the decay of Sn/ sup 113/. A 650-kev gamma ray found in the single-channel spectrum was shown to be in coincidence with the InK x ray both in the fast and in the slow coincidence spectra. This confirmed the existence of a 650 kev level in In/sup 113/ fed by a weak orbital capture branching. From the relative intensities of the 257 and the 650-kev gamma rays (16.4 plus or minus 1.9: 1), it was determined that the spin of the 650 kev level is 5/2 and the parity is odd. The absence of positrons and arguments from log(ft) classifications indicate a spin of 3/2 and even parity for the ground level of Sn/sup 113/ and a decay energy in the range of 0.8 to 1.6 Mev. The shape of the corrected inner bremsstrahlung spectrum indicated a decay energy of 1.3 plus or minus 0.3 Mev. (auth)
